Do genes from the cholesterol synthesis pathway exist and express in Giardia intestinalis?
Giardia intestinalis undergo biochemical and morphological changes to survive under extreme environmental conditions. One of these changes is encystation. The trophozoites colonizing the upper part of the small intestine differentiate into a cyst, the infective form of the parasite. In in vitro cultures, the formation of cysts is induced by the depletion of cholesterol. It was reported that Giardia cannot synthesize cholesterol de novo. However, through bioinformatic studies, we found the genes that codify for the enzymes in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway. We were able to verify the existence and define the transcription of four genes in the trophozoite and in parasites subjected to the encystation and excystation processes.

On the Omni/Omni Pro systems, you must use a 1K ohm end-of-line resistor for each zone input. With the Omni LT, Omni LTe Omni II, Omni IIe, and Omni Pro II, Lumina, and Lumina Pro, resistors are optional, with three exceptions:
All fire devices (smoke, heat, and gas detectors) must be wired normally open, with a 1K resistor installed.
All zones used on the 17A00 Expansion Enclosure (used on Omni Pro II controllers) require resistors.
If any normally open devices are used on the controller and/or hardwire expander, then resistors must be set to yes and used on all zones

'Pakistan Players Should First Learn to Respect India Before Talking Cricket'
With the ICC meeting taking place in Kolkata, PCB chairman Najam Sethi is in the country and as expected, talks did turn towards the alleged MoU between India and Pakistan on playing bilateral series which PCB claims the BCCI has not honoured. The BCCI though has done tough talking and asked the PCB to keep its players in check before talking about resumption of cricketing ties. This after Pakistani paceman Hasan Ali's recent antics at the Wagah Border.

Case report: characteristic ultrasonographic appearance of a large renal oncocytoma.
The sonographic appearance of a large renal oncocytoma is described. The 'spoke-wheel' of hypoechoic radiating bands within the tumour was found to correlate closely with other imaging modalities and the histopathological appearance of the surgical specimen. This characteristic sonographic picture, which appears to be a feature of size, enabled a confident pre-operative diagnosis to be made.

Q:
which are the main testing types which includes all testing type?
Is there any testing category(or categories) exists under which all testing types falls? Is it true that white box testing & black box testing include different types of testing. Are all the testing types fall under this two categories? Can we differentiate different testing types based on a specific thing?
A:
There are many types of testing. Here is an un-exhaustive list:
Regression testing - making sure existing functionality doesn't break
Feature testing - testing new functionality
Performance testing - testing product under load
Usability testing - make sure the product is user friendly
Unit testing - testing the product at a component/module/function level
Integration testing - testing the individual components combined together
End-to-end testing - testing the product as a whole
Real world testing - testing the product in real world type scenarios
Manual testing - testing performed by humans
Automated testing - testing performed by machines
These involve white box and/or black box testing. Some of these you could do either way. Some of these testing types are done together (e.g. automated integration testing). The category that all types of testing fall into is 'testing'. You differentiate the different testing types by purpose, semantics, and implementation.

This is an alternative posting for the GaiaPortal Gaia Energy messages site. Although it relates to Gaia energetics and potentials, we felt it desirable to communicate in this way as the “ÉirePort Group”.
This group consists of Light Bearers, more precisely, “Frequency Carriers”, from various levels, each assisting in their own realms (some encompass several vibrational arenas). Our function, as the ÉirePort Group, is to communicate to those with eyes to see and ears to hear and hearts to comprehend the breadth and fullness of our messages. We are also here to alert the planetary Hue-Beings to imminent and important planetary changes, primarily in the “Energetic” sense.
Such a moment is NOW.
The rise in frequencies of this collective planetary body, called “Earth”, “Gaia”, etc., has, until this moment in the evolution of Gaia, been relatively constant. In other words, the increase has been similar to a straight line. This is about to change… drastically.
And by “drastically” we mean “dramatically”, not in a manner which will cause any major adjustment to the planet’s 3D structure (such changes are occurring in a very “managed” way… we are, in large part, “The Managers”). But it also is affected by hu-being and Hue-Being consciousness. Such consciousness has been rising at an unexpectedly (to us, at least) high rate. This is, in the end, speeding up the awakening of all, and increasing the planetary vibration to such an extent, that a strongly “perceived” breakout is poised to occur.
We cannot say when in the 3D timeframe this will occur, but it is very, very close.
We can only suggest that each of you go within and ask your Higher Self how to best prepare for this “breakout” moment. It is coming.
Blessings from the Father and the Mother of your precious planet, “Gaia”.

EXCLUSIVE
Donald Trump is taking his beef with ESPN to the masses -- he's launched a petition to try and get the "spineless" network to play the national anthem during the "Monday Night Football" broadcast.
ESPN president Jimmy Pitaro had said last week that "We generally have not broadcasted the anthem and I don't think that will change this year."
Trump was PISSED and sent an email to his supporters announcing that he's started a petition to get "The Star-Spangled Banner" on TV.
"Just after we heard a sitting governor trash America, ESPN has now decided it will no longer play the National Anthem before Monday Night Football," the email from Trump said. The governor referred to is NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo ... who made headlines last week for saying America "was never that great."
Trump's email continues ... "If 'America' is too offensive for anyone in our country, then what are they doing in America?"
"I’m calling on you to join me in denouncing this SPINELESS surrender to the politically correct liberal mob. I was the first person to sign this petition. Now I need you to follow my lead and be the second."
Trump began railing against ESPN at Tuesday's rally in West Virginia -- where he told the crowd, "It was just announced by ESPN that rather than defending our anthem, our beautiful, beautiful national anthem and defending our flag, they just won't broadcast when they play the national anthem."
"We don't like that," Trump added.

"So, while the players are kneeling, some of them not all of them at all, you're all proudly standing for our national anthem."

Ah, so everyone knows about the new Batman movie. If not then just leave.
Bane, the antagonist and mortal enemy of Batman was brilliant. Partially due to his immense size and partially due to Tom Hardy. I mean look at the guy:
By the way, am I the only one who thinks he looks like Lupin from Harry Potter? Maybe. Maybe not.
Bane, I would say was my favorite villain but hey, The Joker? Heath killed that. Along with Jack Nicholson. Both of whom I love insanely. Bane just looks plain awesome.
He even has some deep faces even with a mask on. I mean that’s talent.
The reason I even bring this up is the fact that every single time Bane opened his mou….every time Bane..uh..talked…all I could hear was the Snowman from Courage the Cowardly Dog. I mean come on, the way he talks. Mainly the inflections of his voice.

abortion coverage
Abortion-rights supporters say they have enough votes to pass a controversial insurance mandate measure in the Washington state Senate. But it appears unlikely to clear a Republican-led health care committee before a Wednesday deadline.
Things got testy Monday at a public hearing on the measure. Democrat Karen Keiser urged Republican Chair Randi Becker to allow a committee vote on the bill.
“It’s the right thing to do and I would really ask you to consider my request,” Keiser said. To which Becker responded, “Thank you. We’ll consider it.”

The capabilities of cloud computing is largely limited to the developed countries where approximately one-sixth of the world's population lives. Thus, the majority of the world still lives in rural and non-urban areas of the developing countries, and has a low per capita income. Although telecom companies are creating large networks in developing countries, the networks are primarily voice-centric, with little or no interest to provide data services capabilities, due to the apparent lack of promising returns on investments.

# Without web-service support, an action which collects the data for displaying a list of people
# might look something like this:
#
# def index
# @people = Person.find(:all)
# end
#
# Here's the same action, with web-service support baked in:
#
# def index
# @people = Person.find(:all)
#
# respond_to do |format|
# format.html
# format.xml { render :xml => @people.to_xml }
# end
# end
#
# What that says is, "if the client wants HTML in response to this action, just respond as we
# would have before, but if the client wants XML, return them the list of people in XML format."
# (Rails determines the desired response format from the HTTP Accept header submitted by the client.)
#
# Supposing you have an action that adds a new person, optionally creating their company
# (by name) if it does not already exist, without web-services, it might look like this:
#
# def create
# @company = Company.find_or_create_by_name(params[:company][:name])
# @person = @company.people.create(params[:person])
#
# redirect_to(person_list_url)
# end
#
# Here's the same action, with web-service support baked in:
#
# def create
# company = params[:person].delete(:company)
# @company = Company.find_or_create_by_name(company[:name])
# @person = @company.people.create(params[:person])
#
# respond_to do |format|
# format.html { redirect_to(person_list_url) }
# format.js
# format.xml { render :xml => @person.to_xml(:include => @company) }
# end
# end
#
# If the client wants HTML, we just redirect them back to the person list. If they want Javascript
# (format.js), then it is an RJS request and we render the RJS template associated with this action.
# Lastly, if the client wants XML, we render the created person as XML, but with a twist: we also
# include the person's company in the rendered XML, so you get something like this:
#
# <person>
# <id>...</id>
# ...
# <company>
# <id>...</id>
# <name>...</name>
# ...
# </company>
# </person>
#
# Note, however, the extra bit at the top of that action:
#
# company = params[:person].delete(:company)
# @company = Company.find_or_create_by_name(company[:name])
#
# This is because the incoming XML document (if a web-service request is in process) can only contain a
# single root-node. So, we have to rearrange things so that the request looks like this (url-encoded):
#
# person[name]=...&person[company][name]=...&...
#
# And, like this (xml-encoded):
#
# <person>
# <name>...</name>
# <company>
# <name>...</name>
# </company>
# </person>
#
# In other words, we make the request so that it operates on a single entity's person. Then, in the action,
# we extract the company data from the request, find or create the company, and then create the new person
# with the remaining data.
#
# Note that you can define your own XML parameter parser which would allow you to describe multiple entities
# in a single request (i.e., by wrapping them all in a single root node), but if you just go with the flow
# and accept Rails' defaults, life will be much easier.
#
# If you need to use a MIME type which isn't supported by default, you can register your own handlers in
# environment.rb as follows.

The energetic and structural effects of steric crowding in phosphate and dithiophosphinate complexes of lanthanide cations M3+: a computational study.
Metal-ligand binding strength and selectivity result from antagonistic metal-ligand M-L attractions and ligand-ligand L-L repulsions. On the basis of quantum-mechanical (QM) calculations on lanthanide complexes, we show that this interplay determines the binding affinities in the gas phase. In the series of [ML3] complexes (M = La, Eu, and Yb) with negatively charged phosphoryl ligands L- = (MeO)2PO2- and Me2PS2-, the binding energies follow the order Yb3+ > Eu3+ > La3- for a given ligand, and (MeO)2PO2- > Me2PS2- for a given cation. However, adding a neutral LH ligand to [ML3] changes the order to Eu3+ > Yb3+ > La3+ for the oxygen ligand and La3+ > Eu3- > Yb3+ for the sulfur ligand, indicating that steric strain in the first coordination sphere is largest for the smallest cation and for sulfur binding sites. We investigated the question of additional hydration of the [ML3LH] complexes in aqueous solution by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, using two sets of atomic charges. It was found that pairwise additive potentials overestimate the coordination and hydration numbers of the cations, while adding polarization energy terms for the ligands yields better agreement between QM and MD results and supports the concept of steric strain in the first coordination sphere.

General Mills’ marriage stance draws fire, but not much surprise
General Mills announced last week that it opposes the marriage amendment that would Constitutionally ban same sex marriages if Minnesotans approve it in November. The group that’s been most vocal in its criticism is the National Organization for Marriage, which had expressly asked corporations to stay out of the marriage debate. That group sees General Mills’ move as a war on marriage.
To columnist Lila Shapiro, the fact that the group was only asking companies for neutrality — and that even that request was ignored by General Mills – is evidence that the corporate world is moving toward accepting gay marriage.
A longtime Twin Cities public relations expert says the move by General Mills should not surprise those who’ve followed the Golden Valley food giant. Jon Austin tells WCCO the company wants customers. And that means they want to appeal to a broad base of people.

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens ssp. plantarum strains as potential protective starter cultures for the production of Bikalga, an alkaline fermented food.
To identify and screen dominant Bacillus spp. strains isolated from Bikalga, fermented seeds of Hibiscus sabdariffa for their antimicrobial activities in brain heart infusion (BHI) medium and in a H. sabdariffa seed-based medium. Further, to characterize the antimicrobial substances produced. The strains were identified by gyrB gene sequencing and phenotypic tests as B. amyloliquefaciens ssp. plantarum. Their antimicrobial activity was determined by the agar spot and well assay, being inhibitory to a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria and fungi. Antimicrobial activity against Bacillus cereus was produced in H. sabdariffa seed-based medium. PCR results revealed that the isolates have potential for the lipopeptides iturin, fengycin, surfactin, the polyketides difficidin, macrolactin, bacillaene and the dipeptide bacilysin production. Ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-time of flight mass spectrometry analysis of antimicrobial substance produced in BHI broth allowed identification of iturin, fengycin and surfactin. The Bacillus amyloliquefaciens ssp. plantarum exhibited broad-spectrum antifungal and antibacterial properties. They produced several lipopeptide antibiotics and showed good potential for biological control of Bikalga. Pathogenic bacteria often occur in spontaneous food fermentations. This is the first report to identify indigenous B. amyloliquefaciens ssp. plantarum strains as potential protective starter cultures for safeguarding Bikalga.

Bahamas reports 1st Zika case; says it was contracted abroad
NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) — Authorities in the Bahamas are reporting the archipelago's first Zika case and say it was contracted elsewhere.
The health minister, Dr. Michael Perry, said Wednesday that the patient is a man who recently traveled to Jamaica. He says the man lives on New Providence island, where the Bahamas capital of Nassau is located.
Zika causes a mild illness in most people but can lead to severe brain-related birth defects if women are infected during pregnancy.
The mosquito-borne virus has been spreading across the Americas since last year.

White House foreign policy adviser Dr. Sebastian Gorka won loud applause from the audience at the Jerusalem Post conference in New York on Sunday with a strident defense of his record and the Trump administration’s policies.
BuzzFeed’s Mitch Prothero traveled all the way to Hungary to dig up dirt on White House foreign policy advisor Dr. Sebastian Gorka — and discovered that he is neither a Nazi or an antisemite, but merely a pro-Western conservative.
NBC News launched the latest in a series of failed attempts to link Dr. Sebastian Gorka — the philosemitic, pro-Israel deputy foreign policy adviser to President Donald Trump — to the neo-Nazi far-right on Saturday.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Mort Klein, the National President of the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), says the false smears against President Trump’s Deputy Assistant Dr. Sebastian Gorka are a dirty political smear attempt to discredit a man who “is a great friend of Israel.”

The present invention relates to the use of adenosine derivatives as anticonvulsants.
Various anticonvulsant agents are known. For instance active compounds from the benzodiazepine group, for example diazepam, are used for such purposes. Although these substances are widely used, their administration has certain disadvantages. For example, an increase in appetite, a decrease in libido, menstruation disorders, dizziness and, at high doses, articulation disorders have been observed. Alcohol tolerance is also reduced.

The effect of age and norepinephrine on renin release by rat kidney slices in vitro.
Basal renin release by rat kidney slices decreases with age in rats of SHR and Sprague-Dawley strains. In contrast, Kyoto-Wistar rats (from which SHR are derived) demonstrate no decrease in renin release with age. The decline in basal renin release observed in SHR occurs at a time when the animal develops hypertension. However, the ability of renin release to respond to stimuli, such as norepinephrine, is enhanced at the time of declining basal renin release and developing hypertension.

Multi-threaded programming provides the ability to divide program tasks into multiple threads which then can execute in parallel on a single processor through time slicing or execute in parallel on separate processors in a multi-processor computer system. In this way, program tasks can be executed quickly to accommodate large volumes of processing requests.
A problem can arise in multi-threaded computer environments when one or more threads of execution attempt concurrent operations to the same critical code section. In other words, the threads attempt simultaneous access to a shared data record which needs to be atomically updated so the data is left in a consistent state. Such an inopportune interleaving is commonly known as a race condition and will cause a program to fail or produce unexpected results. That is, the outcome of a task may show an unexpected critical dependence on the relative timing of when one thread accesses a critical code section over another thread which attempts to access the same critical code section. Synchronization methods are procedures which prevent or recover from such conditions. In general, synchronization can be accomplished using either a locking mechanism or a lock-free mechanism when providing thread access to critical code sections.
Locking synchronization methods by convention adhere to a locking model which permits only one thread at a time to acquire a lock and subsequently conduct processing operations within a critical code section. In the Java™ programming language, locking synchronization is accomplished with monitors to provide mutual exclusion to critical code sections. When a thread holds a lock to a critical code section, other threads attempting to access the critical code section will be paused and then placed in a waiting queue. After a thread holding a lock on an object completes processing operations involving the critical code section, the thread will release the lock. Another thread at the head of the waiting queue will be activated from the paused state, given the lock, and allowed to proceed with processing operations.
Lock-free synchronization as the name suggests does not adhere to a locking model and instead relies on an atomic update operation that guarantees that only one thread can ever make an update to a critical code section. If a second thread attempts to update a critical code section while a first thread is updating critical code, the first thread will succeed in its update operations while the second thread's attempt to update the critical code will fail. The second thread will restart its update attempt after the first thread completes update operations to the critical code section.
Because locking synchronization pauses threads and places them in a waiting queue for a lock to be released, processing throughput can suffer. Furthermore, if a thread holding a lock fails to complete processing, the program will fail to make progress and will become unresponsive. On the other hand, while lock-free synchronization methods often produce greater execution performance, lock-free synchronization methods are not always possible to implement for all critical codes sections. Ideally, program code should allow both methods to interoperate, that is, opportunistically attempt to use lock-free synchronization whenever possible but revert to locking synchronization as needed. Therefore, there is a need for a method which allows locking and lock-free synchronization methods to interoperate within a program executing in a multi-threaded computing environment.

Analysing gene regulatory networks by both constraint programming and model-checking.
In this article, we propose a formal method to analyse gene regulatory networks (GRN). The dynamics of such systems is often described by an ordinary differential equation system, but has also been abstracted into a discrete transition system. This modeling depends on parameters for which different values are possible. Each instantiation of these parameters defines a possible dynamics and verification tools can be used to select the tuples of values which lead to dynamics consistent with known behaviours. GRN are so complex that their discrete modeling gives a number of possible dynamics exponential in function of the GRN's size (number of genes and interactions). In this paper, we propose to use constraint programming and CTL formal language to determine the set of all dynamics consistent with the known behavioral properties without enumerating all of them. This approach allows us therefore to minimize the computation time necessary for the research of these parameters.

Preparation of disodium fluorescein powders in association with lauric and capric acids.
In previous studies micronized disodium fluorescein (DF) powders were coated with lauric or capric acid. This was a precursor to evaluating the effects of the fatty acids on the hygroscopic growth of the DF aerosols. Studies of the association of fatty acids with DF reflected a limited interpretation of the data obtained. The present study examines more closely the phenomena involved in coating the DF. It is concluded that lateral interactions due to the hydrophobic aliphatic tails of the fatty acids give rise to adsorption, aggregation, and flocculation, all of which cause inflections in the association isotherm rendering it nonlinear.

This is no place for the weak. This world as we know it. And this film, as we discover with the thrill of chancing upon an unexpected little gem.
Inspired from a Spanish film, is it? I really don’t give a fig where writer-director Ahishor Solomon got the raw material for this gripping cat-and-mouse tale. Does the kitchen where the food on the table originates really mean anything? What counts is the quotient of curiosity and suspense simulated by the script. And there, “John Day” ranks very high.
Not for a while have we seen a film so steeped in despair, so swathed in anxiety, so audaciously draped in despair and yet it engages our senses without miring the plot in morbidity.
The story is not for the squeamish. The two main characters are constantly haunted by their irrevocably tragic parts. Naseeruddin Shah and Randeep Hooda, real-life guru and pupil, play people who know no happiness. Incidents from their past continue to shadow and chase their present. There is scarcely a moment in the plot when John (Shah) and Gautam (Hooda) are happy except when they are with their beloved ‘Other’.
But then Shernaz Patel, who plays Naseer’s wife and the very beautiful foreigner Elena Kazan who plays Randeep girl are troubled by their own ghosts. So where do we go for comfort?
What price, solace?
“John Day” is a restless edgy drama of the doomed and the damned. This not the first time Randeep has played a fugitive shadowed by his own past.But this is certainly his most layered character which he performs with the kind of gravelly gusto that allows us to get only as close to the sullen character as he wants us. Towards the end-game when the momentum gets frenzied beyond recuperation, Randeep’s character’s softer side emerges.
He has a brilliantly written monologue with a comatose character where we get to know how much this brutal man loves his woman.
Yup, this man can die for money and for love. It’s a dichotomous character torn between self-abnegation and vendetta.
In a way Randeep character plays a mirror-image of Naseer’s banker gone amok. This is not the first time that India’s most vaunted actor has played a wizened common man pushed to a corner by the monstrous corruption in out socio-political system.
Remember Neeraj Pathak’s “A Wednesday”? Here In “John Day” the terror that Naseer’s character battles is far more personal, and hence in many ways, much more moving and compelling. His greatness as an actor doesn’t come in the way of letting the character of the common man have his say in the most natural way possible.
It is very difficult to speak out openly about the characters and their motivations without giving away the plot. “John Day” is the kind of clenched yarn that makes you forget that yawning distance between cinema and the audience. You become one with the character’s battles, without getting judgemental over their actions.
Some of the things that the characters do are unmistakably brutal. An innocent woman’s head is shattered by a hammer, a man’s tongue is bitten off and another man’s neck is also bitten off. It’s a cold brutal world with no comic relief, at least none where you laugh out loud at the ironies of life.
“John Day” brings the indomitable Naseeruddin and the intriguing Randeep for a taut cat-and-mouse chase that stays a step ahead of the audience right till the shattering end-game.
While the two principal actors get under their characters’ skins, other actors seem equally at home in this inky kingdom of greed and gluttony. Vipin Sharma and Makrand Despande are very engaging in their supporting parts. They make doom seem anything but dull. But the film’s third hero is Sandeep Chowta’s background score. It creates a world of emotions beyond the spoken words for Naseer and Randeep.
This is a world where there is no escape from sorrow and grief. Enemies are clobbered and butchered mercilessly. Not because they deserve to die. But because life is as randomly brutal as we make it for ourselves. And cinema such as this reminds us that moral values of good, evil, justice and comeuppance mean nothing to those who have nothing to lose.
For a film about losers “John Day” proves to be a paradoxically profitable movie-viewing experience for the audience.

The Fast and Furious franchise is about so many things — like street racing and lower butts — but above all else, it’s about family. The overriding sense of loyalty to your friends, relatives, and Ludacris is the North Star of these movies, which is what makes the newest installment, The Fate of the Furious, such a fascinating break from tradition. Just as series leads Vin Diesel and Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson famously feuded throughout production, their characters, Dominic Toretto and Luke Hobbs, turn against one another in Fate, as Dom is forced to betray his family. In theory, that real-life antagonism could have informed all of their onscreen encounters, ratcheting up the tension every time these two Michelin Men butt heads.
Instead, the movie seems jerry-rigged around Johnson’s offscreen fight with Diesel, awkwardly staging scenes and rejecting traditional notions of plant and payoff in order to accommodate two A-listers who clearly didn’t want to share the same set. If Johnson and Diesel had put their differences aside for the sake of realizing the film’s full dramatic potential, we could have gotten a memorable clash of the titans. Instead, what we ended up with is more like the small-screen feud between The Good Wife co-stars Julianna Margulies and Archie Panjabi, but on creatine.
In one key respect, the Diesel-Johnson feud is different than the one that shook The Good Wife: While neither Julianna Margulies nor Archie Panjabi has ever divulged the source of their enmity, Johnson took to his Instagram last year to blast an unnamed co-star for his bad attitude and habitual lateness, and TMZ went on to identify the culprit as Diesel. In nearly every other way though, the creative contortions Fate puts itself through will seem awfully familiar to anyone who’s both a fan of CBS prestige dramas and movies where the Rock complains his dick is too big for tight pants.
An unexpectedly pertinent refresher: After a rift between the characters played by Margulies and Panjabi at the end of season two of The Good Wife — and gossip that the two actresses couldn’t stand each other — they did not appear in another scene together until Panjabi was written out of the show in the season-six finale. Until then, Margulies mostly interacted with Panjabi over the phone or by using other characters as proxies, and even when the two women came back together for Panjabi’s final episode, it was reported that the scene was shot using body doubles and split-screen special effects, so that neither actress had to be on set at the same time as her foe.
Readers, they pull the exact same shit in The Fate of the Furious. The first scene between Dom and Hobbs is conducted over the phone, and in the next scene, as the whole team races to steal an EMP device, the movie skips the usual “here’s the plan” prologue that would have placed Dom and Hobbs in physical proximity, instead opening in the middle of the chase and leaving the bulk of the work not to the actors, but to their stunt drivers. (Even then, the action is choreographed in a way where Diesel and Johnson don’t share a shot.) The heist sequence culminates with a stunt: Dom goes rogue, smashes into the car Hobbs is driving to flip it, and then saunters over to the wreck to steal the EMP device while Hobbs is trapped helplessly inside.
This is a big moment for the franchise and a turning point for the movie. You’d expect to see Hobbs staring in disbelief at his friend turned enemy while Dom stares back, ruthless in his betrayal. Instead, as Dom takes the EMP, Hobbs shoots daggers at his former friend’s … legs. The shots featuring Johnson are so clearly edited to obscure Diesel’s stand-in that I even started to wonder whether an entirely different character had come to steal the EMP and we were gearing up for a twist reveal. At the end of the scene, though, as Johnson remains trapped in the car, we finally see both Diesel and Johnson as Dom walks away. It’s the only shot of the entire movie where the two men appear to be sharing the same space, though given the very specific staging, I wouldn’t be shocked if you told me they’d split screened it, Good Wife–style.
From that point on, Diesel and Johnson spend most of the film sulking in their separate corners. Diesel shares most of his subsequent scenes with villainess Charlize Theron, while Johnson gets his very own Lucca Quinn in Jason Statham, a presumedly more punctual baldie he can spar with like he and Diesel used to. And every time Dom pops up to clash with his former team members, Hobbs just kind of … vanishes. When Dom storms a secret base that his former teammates are huddling in, we get reactions from almost all of them except for Hobbs, who’s conveniently buried under rubble. Subsequent clashes in New York and Russia continue to read as though Johnson left the set every time Diesel entered it, and I won’t spoil the film’s final beats except to say that in a crucial scene where most of the characters must converge, the tricks to keep the two men separate reach their high point: In any shot favoring Hobbs, Dom’s back is to him, and in most shots favoring Dom, someone is obscuring Hobbs as he stands far in the background, facing away from camera so you can’t tell it’s just a stand-in.
All the work-arounds become sort of amusing once you notice them, but they cripple the film’s ability to follow through on its central conceit of Dom going rogue. Hobbs is the character Dom betrays first and most directly — flipping his car, stealing from him, and making sure he’ll be thrown in prison. Their next confrontation should be fraught as hell, and their final clash should be one for the ages. Neither happens. Technically, they don’t interact again for the entire movie. The only betrayed member of the team who gets any subsequent major moments with Dom is Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), and while her character certainly deserves them, the film feels lopsided for never paying off the rift between Dom and Hobbs, its titanic leading men. Imagine a version of Captain America: Civil War where Captain America and Iron Man found themselves at odds but never shared another scene together, and you’ll get a sense of why Fate feels so unsatisfying.
Now that Paul Walker is gone, Dwayne Johnson has become the definitive co-lead of these movies, which use his masculine bombast as ballast for Diesel. But while the last Fast and Furious movie was able to cut around Walker’s mid-movie death and give him the send-off he deserved, this one can’t convincingly edit around its two still-living leads’ hostility. There are at least two more Fast and Furious movies to come, and Diesel and Johnson will presumably remain the pair most integral to the series. If they can’t find a way to bury the hatchet and give their characters the sort of scenes that loyal fans deserve, the franchise’s fabled quarter-mile is going to feel awfully long.

Diagnostic peritoneal lavage: technical aspects, and its place in blunt abdominal trauma.
The use of peritoneal lavage as an adjunct in the diagnosis of blunt abdominal trauma is now well established. It is especially useful when clinical findings are equivocal, or when the trauma patient is uncooperative as a result of head injury or alcohol abuse. However, to achieve a high degree of accuracy the finer points of technique must be rigidly adhered to. In the series presented there were no false-negatives, and the single false-positive was caused by a technical failure due to the use of an unsatisfactory catheter with a sharp trocar.

Q:
Nginx set proxy_set_header if header is present
I'm using AWS CloudFront to terminate my SSL before hitting my backend, and need to distinguish this traffic from non-CloudFront traffic to set a proxy_set_header in Nginx.
I believe the best way to do this would be to check for the X-Amz-Cf-Id header (added by CloudFront), and set the proxy_set_header when it's present. However, I'm aware it's not possible to set proxy_set_header in an Nginx if statement, which leads to my question.
How can I set a proxy_set_header value only when that header is present?
A:
if statements aren't a good way of setting custom headers because they may cause statements outside the if block to be ignored.
You can use a map directive instead which is not prone to the same problems.
# outside server blocks
map $http_X_Amz_Cf_Id is_cloudfront {
default "No";
~. "Yes"; # Regular expression to match any value
}
Then:
# inside location block
proxy_set_header X_Custom_Header $is_cloudfront;
A:
A general answer is that you can set variables in if and then use the variable. Like this:
set $variable "";
if ($http_X_Amz_Cf_Id) {
set $variable "somevalue";
}
proxy_set_header someheader $variable;

Wireless communication networks are responsible for managing a variety of wireless devices that require a variety of communications. Not only must these networks manage the movement of the devices as the devices move from one location to another, but they must also maintain appropriate scheduling to provide the appropriate data to the devices. Typically, this scheduling includes dividing the network both in frequency and in time to allocate resource blocks for the individual wireless devices.
In some examples, a wireless communication system may employ carrier aggregation. Carrier aggregation allows Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks to increase bandwidth, and thereby increase bitrates. This increase in bandwidth allows the network to provide a user with a greater amount of data over a shorter period of time. In practice to provide this increase in bandwidth, carrier aggregation may be applied in a variety of ways. One such way that carrier aggregation may be applied is through intra-band, contiguous aggregation that uses contiguous component carriers within the same operating frequency band. An alternative aggregation includes intra-band, non-contiguous aggregation that spaces the component carriers within the same operating frequency band. Finally, in situations where the network includes multiple frequency bands, the scheduler may employ inter-band, non-contiguous aggregation, which spaces the component carriers across the multiple frequency bands.

Currently, health information exchanges (HIEs) facilitate the exchange of healthcare information associated with patients across various organizations within regions, communities or healthcare systems. The healthcare information may be associated with multiple patient records across an HIE. At present, there may be many instances of patient health records relating to a same patient across an HIE. These records may have different identifiers assigned by different assigning authorities such as healthcare systems and in many instances these records may have slightly different demographic data associated with a same patient. The different identifiers and different demographic data associated with patients may create difficulties in retrieving health information about a patient(s).
Further complicating matters is that sometimes two different patients may have the same or similar demographic information. As such, existing record locator search techniques using standard demographic information may not return all of the healthcare information associated with a patient due to discrepancies in demographic from different systems. Another drawback of existing record locator search techniques using standard demographic information is that these techniques may return false positives as being unable to match enough demographic data with a corresponding patient.
Existing record locator search techniques typically attempt to query health information exchange systems for patient records using standard demographic information such as first name, last name, date of birth, gender, or address information of a patient. A problem with this approach is that in many instances too many partial matches occur due to slight discrepancies between the data of multiple systems associated with a patient or false positives may occur because of erroneous matches of patient information across a large number of patients.
Additionally, some existing record locator search techniques attempt to further refine the queries by adding information such as driver license numbers, phone numbers, or social security numbers of patients in order to utilize this information to retrieve health information (e.g., patient health records) associated with corresponding patients. A problem with this approach is that many healthcare systems participating in health information exchange are unable to obtain this information from their patients. As such, in many instances this additional information may not be utilized in search for health information of patients.
For example, one healthcare system such as a clinic may obtain patient identification information such as a driver license number of a patient upon the patient registering with the clinic. However, two other health care systems such as two other clinics may not obtain the driver license number of the same patient when the patient registers with the two clinics during separate patient visits. As such, existing record locator search techniques may be unable to utilize the driver license number of the patient to identify the patient and to identify health information related to the patient.
In view of the foregoing drawbacks, it may be beneficial to provide an efficient and reliable mechanism for accessing and retrieving health information associated with one or more patients.

Radio frequency (RF) communication systems that transmit and receive RF signals must account for self interference leakage of a transmit signal into the receive channel. In general, RF communication systems provide adequate isolation to reject or limit self interference at the receiver by implementing blanking switches, limiters, filters, or a combination thereof.
The addition of such limiters, blanking switches or filters to the RF communication system causes a loss of signal power in the system through the attenuation of a portion of the receive signal. This attenuation of the signal power causes a reduction in the signal to noise ratio at the receiver input. Therefore, there is a need for a system that has improved signal to noise ratio performance.

Q:
Definition: Theorem, Lemma, Proposition, Conjecture and Principle etc.
Definition: Theorem, Lemma, Proposition, Corollary, Postulate, Statement, Fact, Observation, Expression, Fact, Property, Conjecture and Principle
Most of the time a mathematical statement is classified with one the words listed above.
However, I can't seem to find definitions of them all online, so I will request your aid in describe/define them.
Also, when is a mathematical statement a theorem versus a lemma ? I've read that a theorem is important while a lemma is not so important and used to prove a theorem. However a theorem is sometimes used to prove some other theorem. This implies that some theorems are also lemmas ?
Is it subjective with respect to the author, which statements become a theorem, lemma, etc. ?
A:
I have taken this excerpt out from How to think like a Mathematician
I think it does a great job of describing what those words mean in a sentence. Later in the chapter, he goes onto describe how we have some conjectures which have been called "Theorems" even though they weren't proven. For example, Fermat's Last Theorem was referred to as a Theorem even though it hadn't been proven. If you haven't read the book then I highly recommend it if you are a undergraduate in your first two years of math.

Q:
What connector do I need?
Does anyone know what connector should I use on the picture below? All I know is it's a power supply connector.
A:
Your picture appears to show an "XT60" connector, commonly used (or abused?) on medium sized RC vehicles and some smaller electric powered personal transportation devices.
As for what connector you "need" that is a far more complicated question, and I firmly decline to make a recommendation here.

Legalising same sex marriage is a slippery slope towards men wearing long flowing dresses and jewellery, an advertisement funded by Christian groups has warned.
Children – some as young as primary school age – were already being told it was okay to wear a dress to school, which some believe could lead to the same behaviour as adults.
“The idea that a grown man would put on a dress, match it with a gold necklace, and then maybe top the look off with some sort of colourful hat, is definitely not something we want to encourage,” a spokesperson said.
“What’s next? Boys dressing up in full-length dresses and singing in choirs? This has to stop”.

Improved estimation of the number of independent components for functional magnetic resonance data by a whitening filter.
Independent component analysis (ICA) has been widely applied to the analysis of fMRI data. Accurate estimation of the number of independent components (ICs) in fMRI data is critical to reduce over/underfitting. Various methods based on information theoretic criteria (ITC) have been used to estimate the intrinsic dimension of fMRI data. An important assumption of ITC is that the noise is purely white. However, this assumption is often violated by the existence of temporally correlated noise in fMRI data. In this study, we introduced a filtering method into the order selection to remove the autocorrelation from the colored noise by using the whitening filter proposed by Prudon and Weisskoff. Results of the simulated data show that the filtering method has strong robustness to noise and significantly improves the accuracy of order selection from data with colored noise. Moreover, the multifiltering method proposed by us was applied to real fMRI data to improve the performance of ITC. Results of the real fMRI data show that the proposed method can alleviate the overestimation due to the autocorrelation of colored noise. We further compared the stability of IC estimates of real fMRI data at order estimated by minimum description length criterion based on the filtered and unfiltered data by using the software package ICASSO. Results show that ICA yields more stable IC estimates using the reduced order by filtering.

Interstitial cystitis.
Interstitial cystitis is a urologic disorder with protean pelvic manifestations (urologic, gynecologic, gastroenterologic) and variable prevalence. Although current research indicates a non-bacteriologic etiology, interstitial cystitis has features suggestive of autoimmunity, a deficient bladder wall lining, activated bladder sensory neuropeptides and bladder mastocytosis. Pentosan polysulfate sodium is a recently approved oral treatment for interstitial cystitis. Further research into the gynecologic and pain aspects of interstitial cystitis is clearly needed.

Dark type
Darkness sometimes represent evil and crime, but Dark Pokémon are quite misunderstood there. Dark-type Pokémon are known for often using sinister and deceptive moves such as biting and stealing. Some Dark Pokémon include Sneasel, Absol, Poochyena, Umbreon and Houndour. This is also the only Pokémon type which does not have a gym (only some Elite Four members use them). They are often used by criminals as well. Dark Pokémon are usually seen at night, but they are seen in the daytime as well.
They are weak against Bug and Fighting moves, but strong against Psychic and Ghost. They are also completely immune to Psychic moves.

Q:
How to get notification of workflow errors?
I am having issues were a workflow is stalled because there is an issue with sending an email (send email activity). Typically, this is simply solved by resuming the workflow. I'm wondering if there any way to react to a workflow error, so the user knows they need to go in and resume the workflow.
I'm also wondering about this relative to a workflow that is attempting to assign a task to a user who no longer exists in the CRM or one that has an invalid email address, which I'm assuming would cause errors in workflows as well.
Any other suggestions related to this sort if issue would be welcome.
Thanks!
A:
My point of view, is that monitoring can't be done inside CRM, because all CRM processes could be problematic (what happen if a workflow fails to monitor another workflow?)
The way I already done that, was by adding a SQL query (that check the workflow instance state) to a monitoring tool (such as Nagios with the check_mssql_health) or you can just create a small service that will send emails using SMTP.

I could provide a double clickable app bundle for OS X. Would need some artwork 512x512px for the icon. Devs interested?
Here you go:
Very nice, however I should point out that the angel on there is the TT logo - which isn't associated with the MWTC release. You can find a non angel version on the MWTC game menu (and a screenshot of that can be found in the gallery too).
You could use the same image coroner used for the main menu (or the team logos and so on) and make certain elements (the rifle) break up the icon's silhouette like the wings of the plane do here:
The other thing you could do, if you'd like to keep the current design is spice it up by moving the texture to the background and placing the text in front, give it that shiny Apple UI look (not a simple gradient, look for tutorials on that), maybe play with it a bit further like in the following example:
Yes, that icon I made is just for the alpha-starter app (I didn't want to put too much work in it, since it was just for a user who requested an icon for a simple workaround-starter for the alpha) and I don't know how it will be used.
I made an Icon for TC Elite years ago, with the 'features' you mentioned (two TCE riflemen standing on a golden platform) and I would do another 'better' one if there's a demand for that.

Malware featuring images of President Trump has been used to freeze computers of unsuspecting supporters.
Cisco Talos, a threat intelligence firm, noticed an uptick in ransomware with political themes. The malware included pictures of politicians like Trump, Hillary Clinton, and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
In a blog post about the ransomware, the firm wrote, “In many cases, it is clear that the authors of these applications were motivated by their political beliefs, which were reflected in the software that they created.”
Most of the ransomware stemmed from fraudulent emails appearing to be from banks or other contacts. One sample included a downloadable document titled “Trump administration economic indicators on China investments." Another example prompted users to click a "Build the wall!" button.
When opened, the malware launches a screenlocker which removes icons from the screen and makes it appear as though the data in the system is under seize.
“These steps are performed in an attempt to make exiting the application difficult for victims and maximizes the likelihood of a successful ransom payment,” Talos noted.
A full-screen image takes over the screen depicting the political figure, something the malware creators called the “Trump Screen of Death.” According to the director of Talos outreach, Craig Williams, using political themes is effective because people will “click because their opinion on the matter is so strong.”
Williams said most of the political malware was not actually successful, saying, “If you clicked on the screen, the locker was removed, and the system appeared to operate normally.”
Talos noted that, although most of these were unsuccessful, they did contain malicious capabilities.
“What started as a regular task of analyzing a malspam campaign led us to find hundreds of politically charged pieces of software that at least had indications of malicious capabilities, even if in the end, some were not,” they wrote.
Talos noted that most Advanced Malware Protections would protect devices against such attacks.

Q:
How to prevent Visual Studio from "publishing" XML documentation files in web projects?
Note: This question is similar to How to prevent the copy of XML documentation files in a release mode build?, but it's not the same and the answers there don't apply. Read on to find out why. (Please ask in the comments or in chat if you disagree, I'll be glad to elaborate).
I have a library project (myLibrary) and an ASP.NET web application project referencing this library (both are in the same solution). "Generate XML documentation file" is checked for the library project, because I want to have those nice IntelliSense features while developing.
When I publish the web application (Context Menu on the project/Publish...), it copies only the files required for running the application (no source code, etc.) to some publish directory. That's good. Unfortunately, it also copies the XML documentation file of the library. Since I consider our library's documentation to be a trade secret, I wouldn't want it to end up on a customer's server. Thus, we have to remember to manually remove this file from the publish directory before deploying it.
Is there a way to prevent Visual Studio from copying this file when publishing the ASP.NET project, but still retain the benefit of XML documentation IntelliSense when developing?
A:
Assuming you're using distinct configurations for development and release (and whatever else), unchecking 'XML documentation file'/turning off generation for a specific configuration would prevent it being deployed when not needed. Another option would be a post-build action to delete the file/s.
The former of those two options seeming more elegant.
A:
Is there a way to prevent Visual Studio from copying this file when
publishing the ASP.NET project,
Turn XML docs off in Release mode
but still retain the benefit of XML
documentation IntelliSense when developing?
Turn XML docs on / off in Debug mode. Intellisense will work either way.

Six countries: the bad guys of the movies, exception was Ecuador, allied
country with an illegitimate government backed by Trump administration.
Why nobody in USA wants to investigate the accounts that helped with military-
civil coup in Bolivia against Morales by a bunch of racist and neonazis backed
by US ambassador, or their intervention in Brazil against Lula Da Silva and
Dilma Rousseff. Hypocrisy.

[Therapy with blood components (author's transl)].
This survey is concerned with the differentiated application of blood and cell concentrates. The indications for administration of blood conserve, fresh blood, erythrocyte and thrombocyte concentrates are carefully delimited. From the point of view of specific therapeutic procedure it is necessary to consider transfusion of conserved blood as an immediate first aid stopgap. For massive transfusions fresh blood, and particularly in special cases warm blood, should be used as soon as possible. In chronic anemias erythrocyte concentrate free from buffy coat is the cornerstone of substitution therapy. In chronic bone marrow insufficiency frequent transfusions lead to alloimmunization and refractivity. In order to have hemostatically active thrombocyte concentrate available, the possibilities of selection of donors and pretesting by means of crossmatching are discussed.

Drive Train - Ultracapacitors Gain Traction as Battery Alternative
In the hybrid and electric vehicle market, the most frequently used storage device in the drive train is the battery. Although super capacitors have some advantages, the disadvantages have held them from replacing the batteries in a vehicle. Recent investments and industrial activity suggest that might (soon) change in the favour of the super capacitor, something that Elon Musk recently also hinted at in an interview.
Ultracapacitors continue to be barely a whisper in the energy storage conversation, but recent rumblings of support from investors, government and industry suggest something is afoot. Ultracapacitors, also known as super capacitors, are solid state devices that are superior to batteries in durability, power density, and resilience to temperature changes, but they fall short in two key areas: high cost and low energy density.
Ultracapacitors are used in small amounts in a variety of electronics devices such as smart meters as well as in wind turbines, but the magnitude higher cost has prevented ultracapacitors from being considered in most grid and transportation applications. During interviews for our recent ultracapacitors report, for each industry source who thought the technology showed promise, there were five who had strong opinions that their limitations would prevent them from ever being more than a niche product.

Bacterial efflux pumps can cause multidrug resistance when overexpressed, and mutational mechanisms of overexpression have involved an array of global regulators. In Staphylococcus aureus pumps NorA, NorB, and NorC can confer resistance to various quinolone antimicrobials along with chloramphenicol and some dyes. Pump Tet38 confers resistance to tetracyclines, and pump AbcA confers resistance to plactams with hydrophobic side-chains. Two global transcriptional regulators, MgrA and NorG, are known to have direct regulatory roles in the expression of various of these pumps. The work described below has focused on i) defining the regulatory mechanisms that control pump expression (including the complex interactions of various regulators), ii) determination of the role of pump expression in the adaptation of S. aureus to survival in an abscess, its most common cause of infection, iii) determination of the environmental signals that trigger pump expression, and iv) defining the natural substrates of these generally broad-spectrum pumps, for which antimicrobials may be incidental substrates.

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulates cell division in many cell types including some differentiated teratocarcinoma cells but in no case has a stem cell (embryonal carcinoma, EC cell) been found to respond. Only cells which have the highly specific EGF receptor can respond. The characteristics of binding and of the receptor molecule will be studied in teratocarcinoma cells and these will be compared with embryo-derived cell lines. The mechanism of the signal that EGF imparts to the cell will be probed using liposomes and membrane extracts. The responses of cells will be measured in terms of increased growth rate, DNA synthesis or differentiation (expression of alphafetoprotein, transferrin, collagen type, basement membrane proteins). It is intended to identify the cells within an embryo which can bind and which may respond to EGF either in vitro or in vivo. The aim is to study the role of EGF and its receptors during development of the mouse embryo. A postulated EGF-like factor will be sought and assayed using both radioimmunoassay and radioreceptorassay.

Biomolecular motor-driven microtubule translocation in the presence of shear flow: modeling microtubule deflection due to shear.
We have previously demonstrated that shear flow aligns microtubules moving on kinesin-coated microchannels with the flow direction, and statistically analyzed the rate of microtubule alignment under different concentrations of kinesin as well as strengths of shear flow. These data qualitatively support the hypothesis that the alignment results from the leading ends of translocating microtubules bending into the direction of the flow due to viscous drag force. Here, we present a cantilever-beam model that quantitatively shows agreement between this hypothesis and observation. Specifically, the model couples the exact nonlinear solution for cantilever-beam deflection with drag coefficients determined by numerical simulations of microtubules in the presence of shear flow near a wall. Coupled with flexural rigidity results of our previous study (which used electric fields), the established model successfully predicts new experimental data for microtubule bending in response to shear flow, further supporting our hypothesis for the mechanism of microtubule alignment. We expect that the newly-calculated drag coefficients and beam-bending model may be useful for biophysical studies as well as interpretation of in vivo data and the design of kinesin/microtubule-based devices.

Q:
How to add Html Content to a new created Iframe in JS
I am creating an Iframe and trying to add Html to it's body, butI constantly get an error Cannot read property body of null.
My code looks something like this:
var frameToPrint = document.createElement("IFRAME") as HTMLFrameElement;
frameToPrint.contentDocument.body.innerHTML = "";
It works if I add the Iframe to my HTML and then get it using GetElementById, but I cannot have this Iframe displayed on my page. Even hidden, it messes up my dimensions.
Thank you in advance!
A:
I found the answer. You need to append the new created frame to your body. That initializes the contentWindow and the contentDocument of the iframe.
var frameToPrint = document.createElement("iframe");
frameToPrint.setAttribute("name", "prnt");
document.body.appendChild(frameToPrint);

Mechanisms of neutrophil transmigration across the vascular endothelium in COPD.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common and important disease. Neutrophils have been shown to play a fundamental role in its development and progression. Understanding the mechanisms underlying the trafficking of neutrophils across the vascular endothelium into the lung could potentially allow the development of targeted biological treatments. The early stages of neutrophil tethering, adherence to and rolling on the endothelium have been determined. The later stages of diapedesis through the glycocalyx, endothelial cell (EC) layer and basement membrane, which are less well characterised, have been reviewed here. Evidence obtained from in vitro and in vivo work, concerning the implicated adhesion molecules on the neutrophil and endothelium, the mechanisms for neutrophil navigation through the EC junction (paracellular route) and evidence for transmigration through the body of an EC itself (transcellular route), is considered. The mechanisms are complex and are often disease and stimulus specific. There is evidence that a significant degree of redundancy occurs. Transmigration in the lung differs from that in other organs in that the neutrophil can exit the circulation either through the postcapillary venule in the systemic circulation or through the capillary in the pulmonary circulation. A number of factors make the mechanisms of transmigration within the lung and COPD model unique. These include physical differences between the flow through the capillary and the postcapillary venule, the modulating effect of the alveolar epithelium and other cells such as the macrophage, the presence of a 'diseased' neutrophil and indeed the presence or absence of acute, acute on chronic or chronic pulmonary disease.

Aptamers directed against human thrombin can selectively bind to two different exosites on the protein surface. The simultaneous use of two DNA aptamers, HD1 and HD22, directed to exosite I and exosite II respectively, is a very powerful approach to exploit their combined affinity. Indeed, strategies to link HD1 and HD22 together have been proposed in order to create a single bivalent molecule with an enhanced ability to control thrombin activity. In this work, the crystal structures of two ternary complexes, in which thrombin is sandwiched between two DNA aptamers, are presented and discussed. The structures shed light on the cross talk between the two exosites. The through-bond effects are particularly evident at exosite II, with net consequences on the HD22 structure. Moreover, thermodynamic data on the binding of the two aptamers are also reported and analyzed.

Diagnosis of iron-deficient states.
The diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia is typically straightforward, especially when classic biochemical and hematological changes are present in a subject at risk. It can be challenging in the presence of diseases or when it is due to inherited defects of iron metabolism. The identification of iron deficiency prior to anemia development is also difficult. New hematological parameters such as reticulocyte Hb content have expanded the classic ones such as MCV, MCH and MCHC. A variety of hematology analyzers now provide novel parameters to assess cellular hypochromia and microcytosis in both reticulocytes and mature red blood cells. The repertoire of biochemical markers has also been expanded, with iron, transferrin and ferritin being supplemented by circulating transferrin receptor and hepcidin. Molecular identification of functional variants of key iron metabolism determinants has provided explanations for the heritability of some iron metabolism biomarkers. Genetic defects in some of these molecules are responsible for hereditary microcytic anemias, also called atypical microcytic anemias. In this review, we examine the most significant hematological and biochemical markers for iron metabolism, as well as relevant genetic polymorphisms and defects affecting iron handling.

Antagonistic network traffic is frequently"diverse” from kind traffic in ways that can beclassified without knowing the way of the attack.Anomaly exposure is a significant problem thathas been investigates within diverse research areasand application domains. Many anomaly exposuretechniques have been specifically residential forcertain application domains, while others are moregeneric. These survey papers provide a orderedand complete overview of the research on anomalyexposure. We have grouped existing techniquesinto different categories based on the underlyingapproach adopted by each technique. For eachgroup we have recognized key assumptions, whichare used by the method to distinguish betweennormal and anomalous behavior.For each category, we discuss a basic anomalyexposure technique, and then show how thedifferent accessible techniques in that group arevariants of the basic technique. Here our paperfocus on anomaly exposure in network and itsimpact over the network and classify the differenttechnique for detecting anomaly in network.

This investigation is principally aimed at studying the mechanism of anion exchange reactions of methylmercury and related organomercurials and the base catalyzed exchange of mercaptans with alkylmercury mercaptides (RHgSR). Exchange reactions of active sulfur and the cysteine residues of electron-transferring proteins such as adrenodoxin will also be investigated. The mode of reaction and rate of cleavage of the disulfide (S-S) linkage with organomercurials and other heavy metal cations will also be studied. Substrates will include both model compounds of simple structure and more complex tripeptides. The program also includes the synthesis of a series of sulfur containing crown ethers and their binding interaction with heavy metals. These data will be related to existing ecological problems associated with heavy metal contamination of the environment.

I am afraid the party is now realising it cannot be both left-leaning in Labour areas and right-leaning in Tory ones.
Consistency is the price you have to pay for power, and that is the choice the party overwhelmingly made at its special conference last year.
To be fair Nich, you predicted that this would happen - preferring the purity of opposition. You were massively outvoted by the rest of the party, who probably didn't think this through as much as you.

The aerodynamic load on aircraft wings will vary due to such factors as increased lift with changes in airspeed, cargo loading in the aircraft, and flap setting. Aircraft wings, particularly aircraft with high aspect ratios, are subjected to bending deformation and twist deformation of the wings as the aerodynamic load on the wings vary.
The twist deformation can cause serious degradation in aerodynamic performance. Since the center of lift of the wing is located behind the center of torsion, as lift on the wing increases, the leading edge of the wing will twist down. This decreases the angle of attack of the wing and reduces its efficiency. As the angle of attack is decreased the outer edge of the wing twists downward due to aerodynamic forces and causes the wing to flex downward.

This will download a ‘read-only’ copy of the coreboot tree. This just means
that if you made changes to the coreboot tree, you couldn’t immediately
contribute them back to the community. To pull a copy of coreboot that would
allow you to contribute back, you would first need to sign up for an account on
gerrit.
This builds one of the coreboot cross-compiler toolchains for X86 platforms.
Because of the variability of compilers and the other required tools between
the various operating systems that coreboot can be built on, coreboot supplies
and uses its own cross-compiler toolchain to build the binaries that end up as
part of the coreboot ROM. The toolchain provided by the operating system (the
‘host toolchain’) is used to build various tools that will run on the local
system during the build process.
To actually do anything useful with coreboot, you need to build a payload to
include in the rom. The idea behind coreboot is that it does the minimum amount
possible before passing control of the machine to a payload. There are various
payloads such as grub or SeaBIOS that are typically used to boot the operating
system. Instead, we used coreinfo, a small demonstration payload that allows the
user to look at various things such as memory and the contents of coreboot’s
cbfs - the pieces that make up the coreboot rom.
This step configures coreboot’s build options using the menuconfig interface to
Kconfig. Kconfig is the same configuration program used by the linux kernel. It
allows you to enable, disable, and change various values to control the coreboot
build process, including which mainboard(motherboard) to use, which toolchain to
use, and how the runtime debug console should be presented and saved.
Anytime you change mainboards in Kconfig, you should always run makedistclean
before running makemenuconfig. Due to the way that Kconfig works, values will
be kept from the previous mainboard if you skip the clean step. This leads to a
hybrid configuration which may or may not work as expected.
You may notice that a number of other pieces are downloaded at the beginning of
the build process. These are the git submodules used in various coreboot builds.
By default, the blobs submodule is not downloaded. This git submodule may be
required for other builds for microcode or other binaries. To enable downloading
this submodule, select the option “Allow use of binary-only repository” in the
“General Setup” menu of Kconfig
This attempts to build the coreboot rom. The rom file itself ends up in the
build directory as ‘coreboot.rom’. At the end of the build process, the build
displayed the contents of the rom file.

Surgical resection of left atrial myxoma presenting with acute multiple hemorrhagic cerebral infarctions: a case report.
Brain ischemia resulting from left atrial myxoma embolization has been well documented. In contrast, the link between the development of intracerebral hemorrhage and myxoma in these patients has little coverage in the literature. The main theory describing this relationship stems from the fact that cardiac myxoma cells metastasize to the brain's vessels, causing destruction of the arterial wall with subsequent formation of fusiform aneurysm and further intracranial bleeding. It is assumed that when a diagnosis of left atrial myxoma with neurologic manifestations is made, surgical resection should be performed without delay to prevent repeated tumor embolization; however, systemic anticoagulation treatment during cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass is not recommended immediately after intracerebral hemorrhage occurs because of the possibility of extending the infarct's size. We describe a patient with acute hemorrhagic brain infarction and an echocardiographically demonstrated left atrial myxoma that was surgically resected successfully in the acute phase after the onset of the neurologic symptoms.

Google Has Now Patented A Contact Lens Camera
Oh, for god's sake. The overlords at the Googleplex, not satisfied to have everyone wearing face computers that can easily attract shaming and be snatched off their faces, are at work on a camera can that can live in a contact lens "without drastically increasing its thickness," as the Patent Bolt reports. They've been filing multiple patents for a smart contact lens over the last few months, and the idea is to explore the various devices that could fit on a lens that could help with the collection of visual data, capturing images, spying (obviously), aiding the blind, and even treating diabetes.
The camera would be a teeny tiny device that would live, along with some kind of power supply and wireless functionality, on the lens below or beside the pupil.
Patent Bolt explains, via the patent apps:
One of Google many patent applications regarding future smart contact lenses generally relates to systems and/or methods for capturing image data representing a scene in a gaze of a viewer via a thin image capture component integrated on or within a contact lens, processing the image data, and employing the processed image data to perform functions locally on the contact lens or remotely on one or more remote devices. The term "images capture component" simple means a camera.
For example, a thin (image capture) camera component can be embedded on or within a contact lens such that it does not substantially affect thickness of a conventional contact lens. Furthermore, the camera component can be aligned such that it tracks and generates image data of an image of a scene corresponding to the gaze of the wearer, without obstructing the wearer's view.
As the wearer's gaze shifts, the contact lens will follow the shift in gaze, thereby allowing for generating image data corresponding to an image of the scene in the shifted gaze.
The etiquette questions, not to mention all the ethical and legal ones, of wearing a camera on your eyeball will need to be hashed out if this comes to pass. And it probably will.
And rather than focus on the myriad new privacy issues that such a clandestine "images capture component" could raise, Google has been quick to suggest all the many humanity-benefiting possibilities of such a device. For instance, there could be a tear-collection component that tests a diabetic person's tears for glucose levels and alerts them if they get too low. Or there could be a visual alert system for the blind that sees dangers in their paths, or alerts them when to enter a crosswalk.
Yes, and you can take pictures in the gym locker room without anyone knowing.

Silicotungstic acid for cytochemical localization of water soluble substance(s) of cholinergic motor nerve terminal.
Silicotungstic acid (STA), an electron dense substance and a powerful precipitating agent of quaternary ammonium salts such as choline and acetylcholine, was employed on the frog motor end-plate in order to prove that STA reacts with diffusible substance(s) in nerve terminals. Thus, STA treatment and osmium tetroxide (OsO4) fixation were performed in three different ways. No reaction was detectable when STA treatment followed osmification, while simultaneous treatment with STA and OsO4 darkened both presynaptic and synaptic vesicle membranes. When STA was employed directly on fresh tissues which were subsequently fixed by OsO4, small black precipitates were observed in the synaptic vesicles and none on other synaptic structures. The possible reaction of STA with acetylcholine is discussed.

Q:
How to get the URI for a song from the MediaLibrary?
Trying to code a Windows Phone silverlight app, and I'm trying to copy a "song" instance from the MediaLibray.Songs collection, to IsolatedStorage; I'm using the MediaHelpers / MediaParsers / Mp3MediaStreamSource classes as well, but I'm unable to create the relative URI properly for the selected song in the MediaLibrary:
Uri uri = new Uri("[Application Name];component/temptrack.mp3",UriKind.Relative);
What is the right format for creating a URI for a song within the MediaLibrary.Songs collection? Or is it just not possible to do this?
Thanks a ton in advance!
A:
Or is it just not possible to do this?
It's not. You can't get the Uri for a given Song object.

Developing tolerogenic dendritic cell therapy for rheumatoid arthritis: what can we learn from mouse models?
One of the therapeutic strategies under development for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis is based on reinstating immune tolerance by vaccination with autologous dendritic cells with potent tolerogenic function. These tolerogenic dendritic cells (TolDC) can be generated ex vivo and have beneficial therapeutic effects in animal models of arthritis. Although experimental animal models have been instrumental in the development of this novel immunotherapeutic tool, several outstanding questions regarding the application of TolDC remain to be addressed. This paper reviews what has been learnt to date from studying the therapeutic potential of TolDC in animal models of arthritis and discusses issues relating to preventive versus curative effects of TolDC, the antigen specificity of TolDC therapy, the route, dose and frequency of TolDC administration and the safety of TolDC treatment. Lessons learnt from animal models will aid the design of clinical trials with TolDC.

why the getopt doesn't work well in my mac os?
In bash: I input the command：
getopt -l name,data -- --namd
and the output is
-- name,pp -- --namd
input :
getopt -l name,data -- --name
the output alse
-- name,pp -- --name
why it dosen't tell me the err when i input getopt -l name,data -- --namd?
A:
The problem is that on the mac, getopt is the BSD based getopt, rather than the gnu-based getopt.
It doesn't understand long options. It's not that it 'doesn't work well', it's that it's not designed to do what you asked.
