Great Yarmouth is an English seaside town situated at the mouth of the River Yare, about 120 miles to the northeast of London. Around 5 million people visit Great Yarmouth every year, making it one of Britain's most popular seaside resorts. Formerly the home of one of the most profitable fishing industries, Great Yarmouth is a busy and very popular seaside resort. Undoubtedly, one of the most popular attractions is Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach, a historic free entry pleasure park, which draws annually 1.5 million visitors. The two piers , Britannia Pier and Wellington Pier, both contain family-orientated entertainment. As well as the usual thrills one would expect on a classic British seafront, Great Yarmouth also has a quieter side, with a fascinating heritage quarter to explore. Not many people know that Great Yarmouth has the most complete city walls after York, with heritage walks to help you discover this medieval attraction along with several museums and houses dating back to many centuries. If ghost walks are more your cup of tea, Eerie Tales and Yarmouth Yarns is the tour for you. Great Yarmouth is also a centre for the North Sea oil and gas industry and increasingly for offshore wind power. The Great Yarmouth Outer Harbour is a huge development currently taking place which can see larger ships coming to the town. The Great Yarmouth Maritime Festival in September each year celebrates Great Yarmouth's maritime heritage. Over the past few years, Great Yarmouth has seen significant construction spending to improve and modernize the popular seafront area and to ensure it is linked to the town centre. Regent Road has a brilliant ceiling of light which is lit up in the evenings and is now a lovely street leading from the town centre to the seafront area. Which of the following is making rapid progress?
A. The fishing industry.
B. The oil and gas industry.
C. The wind power industry.
D. The tourist industry.

CCR 20th Anniversary Commentary: Radioactive Drones for B-cell Lymphoma
In a study published in the March 1, 1996, issue of Clinical Cancer Research, Knox and colleagues (1) demonstrated the safety and efficacy of Yttirium-90 (90Y)-anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody therapy, as well as the benefit of preinfusion of unlabeled antibody on radiolabeled antibody biodistribution. Subsequent clinical trials with this radiolabeled antibody led to regulatory approval of this treatment for B-cell lymphoma.Clin Cancer Res; 21(3); 493–4. ©2015 AACR.

Curb Parking Supply Scale with Conditions of Dynamic Traffic
Starting with the two key factors of road breadth and the distance to intersections, the present paper analyzed the constraints of road conditions on setting curb parking lots and, by analyzing the influencing mechanism of curb parking on traffic capacity, constructed the compensation model of traffic capacity for motor vehicles on the parking road sections. Then, the paper went on to set the values of compensation coefficients for road breadth, vehicles in parking in and driving out, non-motor vehicles, and lateral clearance, so as to calculate, with the precondition of guaranteeing certain service standards, the maximal values of curb parking lots on road sections under the constraints of traffic capacity. In addition, it also constructed the driving speed model according to BRP resistance function and, via the analysis of “Friction” effect and “Blocking” effect of curb parking on traffic flows of motor vehicle lanes, measured the influence of curb parking on driving speed in order to exactly determine of maximal parking value under the condition that the minimal driving speed of motor vehicles can be ensured. Finally, for the purpose of finding the balance between dynamic and static traffic and of maximally utilizing the remaining road resources, the maximal number of curb parking lots shall be the minimal value to satisfy the constraints of road conditions, traffic capacity and driving speed.

JANUARY 15, 2014 KYOTO -- A father froze to death while sheltering his eight years old daughter from severe weekend snowstorms that swept northern Japan. Fujita Makoto, one of at least nine people killed as snowstorms swept across Hokkaido , died as he tried to protect his only child Yumi against winds of up to 113 kilometers per hour in Hokkaido, as temperatures fell sharply to minus 6 degrees centigrade. Makoto's body was uncovered by rescuers looking for the pair after s raised the alarm. Yumi was wearing her father's jacket and was wrapped in his arms. The pair had last been heard from at 4 p. m. on Saturday, after fisherman Makoto picked his daughter up from a school where she was being looked after while he was at work. Makoto called his s to say his truck had become stuck in the driving snow, which was several meters deep in places. He told them he and Yumi would walk the remaining kilometers. The two were found just 300 meters from the truck at 7 a.m. on Sunday. Makoto had his body bent over his daughter, gently holding her in his arms and apparently using his body and a warehouse wall to provide shelter. The small girl was taken to hospital, where she was found to have no serious injuries. Her father was officially pronounced dead by doctors at the same hospital. The newspaper Yomiuri said Yumi's mother had died of illness two years earlier. The paper quoted neighbors as saying Makoto had been an extremely caring father who would often delay the start of his working day to enjoy breakfast with his daughter. His death came as families all over Japan celebrated Girls' Day, a festival in which they gather at home and decorate houses with dolls. "He reserved a cake for his only daughter and was looking forward to celebrating Dolls' Festival together," a neighbor told the Yomiuri. When the disaster happened, the father and daughter were _ .

In recent years, advances in medical technology have made it possible for people to live longer than in the past. New medicines and machines are being developed every day to extend life. However, some people, including some doctors, are not in favor of these life extending measures, and they argue that people should have the right to die when they want. They say that the quality of life is as important as life itself and that people should not be forced to go on living when conditions of life have become unbearable . They saw that people should be allowed to die with dignity and to decide when they want to die. Others argue that life under any conditions is better than death and that the duty of doctors is always to extend life as long as possible. And so the battle goes on and on without a definite answer. The best title for this passage is _ .
A. The Right to Live
B. The Right to Die
C. The Doctor's Duty
D. Life Is Better Than Death

"It is never too late and you are never too old to start something new!" says Englishtown student Ellen Rema. Ellen began to learn English at the age of fifty, and in just a few years, she has made great progress! Ellen chose to study on Englishtown because no evening classes were offered in the German countryside where she lives. On Englishtown, she has conversation classes online and speaks with native English-speaking teachers. "Englishtown is a wonderful place for study," she says. Ellen began with the first level of Englishtown and quickly progressed. "I spent hours and hours studying," she said. "Maybe I wanted too much in a short time. I finished all my courses after 2 years, but I still had grammar difficulties." Instead of giving up, she chose to continue. After another two years on Englishtown, she's still studying in the online classroom. "Studying online is never boring, but you need practice, practice, practice!" Ellen says studying English isn't all about hard work. It should also be fun. "I really like the online conversation classrooms," she says. "I have learned so much about other cultures and traditions." Ellen has been able to put her English to use by visiting England five times! "I'm very thankful to Englishtown because my life has improved because of it," Ellen says. Ellen had trouble learning _ .

Windows intelligently defrags your SSD
There has been a LOT of confusion around Windows, SSDs (hard drives), and whether or not they are getting automatically defragmented by automatic maintenance tasks in Windows.
There's a general rule of thumb or statement that "defragging an SSD is always a bad idea." I think we can agree we've all heard this before. We've all been told that SSDs don't last forever and when they die, they just poof and die. SSDs can only handle a finite number of writes before things start going bad. This is of course true of regular spinning rust hard drives, but the conventional wisdom around SSDs is to avoid writes that are perceived as unnecessary.
Does Windows really defrag your SSD?
I've seen statements around the web like this:
I just noticed that the defragsvc is hammering the internal disk on my machine. To my understanding defrag provides no value add on an SSD and so is disabled by default when the installer determines the disk is SSD. I was thinking it could be TRIM working, but I thought that was internal to the SSD and so the OS wouldn’t even see the IO.
One of the most popular blog posts on the topic of defrag and SSDs under Windows is by Vadim Sterkin. Vadim's analysis has a lot going on. He can see that defrag is doing something, but it's not clear why, how, or for how long. What's the real story? Something is clearly running, but what is it doing and why?
I made some inquiries internally, got what I thought was a definitive answer and waded in with a comment. However, my comment, while declarative, was wrong.
Windows doesn’t defrag SSDs. Full stop. If it reports as an SSD it doesn’t get defraged, no matter what. This is just a no-op message. There’s no bug here, sorry. - Me in the Past
I dug deeper and talked to developers on the Windows storage team and this post is written in conjunction with them to answer the question, once and for all
"What's the deal with SSDs, Windows and Defrag, and more importantly, is Windows doing the RIGHT THING?"
It turns out that the answer is more nuanced than just yes or no, as is common with technical questions.
The short answer is, yes, Windows does sometimes defragment SSDs, yes, it's important to intelligently and appropriately defrag SSDs, and yes, Windows is smart about how it treats your SSD.
The long answer is this.
Actually Scott and Vadim are both wrong. Storage Optimizer will defrag an SSD once a month if volume snapshots are enabled. This is by design and necessary due to slow volsnap copy on write performance on fragmented SSD volumes. It’s also somewhat of a misconception that fragmentation is not a problem on SSDs. If an SSD gets too fragmented you can hit maximum file fragmentation (when the metadata can’t represent any more file fragments) which will result in errors when you try to write/extend a file. Furthermore, more file fragments means more metadata to process while reading/writing a file, which can lead to slower performance.
As far as Retrim is concerned, this command should run on the schedule specified in the dfrgui UI. Retrim is necessary because of the way TRIM is processed in the file systems. Due to the varying performance of hardware responding to TRIM, TRIM is processed asynchronously by the file system. When a file is deleted or space is otherwise freed, the file system queues the trim request to be processed. To limit the peek resource usage this queue may only grow to a maximum number of trim requests. If the queue is of max size, incoming TRIM requests may be dropped. This is okay because we will periodically come through and do a Retrim with Storage Optimizer. The Retrim is done at a granularity that should avoid hitting the maximum TRIM request queue size where TRIMs are dropped.
Wow, that's awesome and dense. Let's tease it apart a little.
When he says volume snapshots or "volsnap" he means the Volume Shadow Copy system in Windows. This is used and enabled by Windows System Restore when it takes a snapshot of your system and saves it so you can rollback to a previous system state. I used this just yesterday when I install a bad driver. A bit of advanced info here - Defrag will only run on your SSD if volsnap is turned on, and volsnap is turned on by System Restore as one needs the other. You could turn off System Restore if you want, but that turns off a pretty important safety net for Windows.
One developer added this comment, which I think is right on.
I think the major misconception is that most people have a very outdated model of disk\file layout, and how SSDs work.
First, yes, your SSD will get intelligently defragmented once a month. Fragmentation, while less of a performance problem on SSDs vs traditional hard drives is still a problem. SSDS *do* get fragmented.
It's also worth pointing out that what we (old-timers) think about as "defrag.exe" as a UI is really "optimize your storage" now. It was defrag in the past and now it's a larger disk health automated system.
Used under CC. Photo by Simon WüllhorstAdditionally, there is a maximum level of fragmentation that the file system can handle. Fragmentation has long been considered as primarily a performance issue with traditional hard drives. When a disk gets fragmented, a singular file can exist in pieces in different locations on a physical drive. That physical drive then needs to seek around collecting pieces of the file and that takes extra time.
This kind of fragmentation still happens on SSDs, even though their performance characteristics are very different. The file systems metadata keeps track of fragments and can only keep track of so many. Defragmentation in cases like this is not only useful, but absolutely needed.
SSDs also have the concept of TRIM. While TRIM (retrim) is a separate concept from fragmentation, it is still handled by the Windows Storage Optimizer subsystem and the schedule is managed by the same UI from the User's perspective. TRIM is a way for SSDs to mark data blocks as being not in use. Writing to empty blocks on an SSD is faster that writing to blocks in use as those need to be erased before writing to them again. SSDs internally work very differently from traditional hard drives and don't usually know what sectors are in use and what is free space. Deleting something means marking it as not in use. TRIM lets the operating system notify the SSD that a page is no longer in use and this hint gives the SSD more information which results in fewer writes, and theoretically longer operating life.
In the old days, you would sometimes be told by power users to run this at the command line to see if TRIM was enabled for your SSD. A zero result indicates it is.
fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify
However, this stuff is handled by Windows today in 2014, and you can trust that it's "doing the right thing." Windows 7, along with 8 and 8.1 come with appropriate and intelligent defaults and you don't need to change them for optimal disk performance. This is also true with Server SKUs like Windows Server 2008R2 and later.
No, Windows is not foolishly or blindly running a defrag on your SSD every night, and no, Windows defrag isn't shortening the life of your SSD unnecessarily. Modern SSDs don't work the same way that we are used to with traditional hard drives.
Yes, your SSD's file system sometimes needs a kind of defragmentation and that's handled by Windows, monthly by default, when appropriate. The intent is to maximize performance and a long life. If you disable defragmentation completely, you are taking a risk that your filesystem metadata could reach maximum fragmentation and get you potentially in trouble.

Backblaze updates hard drive reliability tests
I did a blog post back in January, called “What Hard Drive Should I Buy?” It covered the reliability of each of the drive models that we use. This month I’m updating those numbers and sharing some surprising new findings.
Reliability of Hard Drive Brands
The good news is that the chart today looks a lot like the one from January, and that most of the drives are continuing to perform well. It’s nice when things are stable.
Hard Drive Failure Rates by Model
What is the likely cause of this?
It may be that those drives are less well-suited to the data center environment. Or it could be that getting them by drive farming and removing them from external USB enclosures caused problems. We’ll continue to monitor and report on how these drives perform in the future.
Should we switch to enterprise drives?
Assuming we continue to see a failure rate of 15% on these drives, would it make sense to switch to “enterprise” drives instead?
There are two answers to this question:
1. Today on Amazon, a Seagate 3 TB “enterprise” drive costs $235 versus a Seagate 3 TB “desktop” drive costs $102. Most of the drives we get have a 3-year warranty, making failures a non-issue from a cost perspective for that period. However, even if there were no warranty, a 15% annual failure rate on the consumer “desktop” drive and a 0% failure rate on the “enterprise” drive, the breakeven would be 10 years, which is longer than we expect to even run the drives for.
2. The assumption that “enterprise” drives would work better than “consumer” drives has not been true in our tests. I analyzed both of these types of drives in our system and found that their failure rates in our environment were very similar — with the “consumer” drives actually being slightly more reliable.
Detailed Reliability of Hard Drive Models
This table shows the detailed breakdown of how many of which drives we have, how old they are on average, and what the failure rate is. It includes all drive models that we have at least 200 of. A couple of models are new to Backblaze and show a failure rate of “n/a” because there isn’t enough data yet for reliable numbers.

Seagate debuts 8TB hard drive
When it comes to technology, it is almost impossible to stay on the forefront. You will drive yourself nuts, and empty your wallet, chasing after every new thing. Got the newest and most expensive graphics card? Yesterday's news within months. The newest iPhone? You can make that claim for one year at best.
Hard drives are no different and are probably the longest-running way for manufacturers to take money from nerds. I bought a 4TB drive earlier in the year thinking it would be high-end for some time, but sure enough, it is now yawn-worthy. Why? Today, Seagate begins shipping 8TB hard drives. Yup, twice as big as my 4TB drive. I haven't learned my lesson though as I already want one!
In other words, you can free up SATA connectors and lower energy costs by utilizing one drive instead of multiple. Think of it this way; I already own a 4TB drive. If I add a second 4TB drive instead of replacing the first with an 8TB variant, I will be wasting a SATA port and using more electricity. For a home user, this isn't a huge deal, but in a server environment, it can really add up. Over time, the savings could justify the cost.
Cost is the big mystery though, as Seagate has not announced an MSRP. However, it is shipping a limited supply of the drives to select retailers and will open it up to more later in the year. Expect them to be expensive, at least for the time being. Hopefully they will work in existing USB enclosures, so laptop and Surface users can enjoy the fun too.
Do you need 8TB of storage on your home computer? What are you storing? Tell me in the comments.
New Middleware Technology Quadruples SSD Speed
A Japanese research team developed a technology to drastically improve the writing speed, power efficiency and cycling capability (product life) of a storage device based on NAND flash memory (SSD).
The team is led by Ken Takeuchi, professor at the Department of Electrical, Electronic and Communication Engineering, Faculty of Science and Engineering of Chuo University. The development was announced at 2014 IEEE International Memory Workshop (IMW), an international academic conference on semiconductor memory technologies, which took place from May 18 to 21, 2014, in Taipei. The title of the thesis is "NAND Flash Aware Data Management System for High-Speed SSDs by Garbage Collection Overhead Suppression."
In September 2013, to address this issue, the research team developed a method to prevent data fragmentation by making improvements to middleware that controls a storage for database applications. It makes (1) the "SE (storage engine)" middleware, which assigns logical addresses when an application software accesses a storage device, and (2) the FTL (flash translation layer) middleware, which converts logical addresses into physical addresses on the side of the SSD controller, work in conjunction. This time, the team developed a more versatile method that can be used for a wider variety of applications.

Hard drive reliability study names names
Today, Backblaze is naming names.
And that doesn't even tell the whole story. In Backblaze's storage pods, Seagate's Barracuda 1.5TB has an annual failure rate of over 25%. The 5,400-RPM version of that drive fares better—its failure rate is only 10%—but that's still pretty high compared to the competition. The failure rate of similar Hitachi drives in the same environment is less than 2%.

Alienware Steam Machine not an easy upgrade
PC manufacturer Alienware has clarified an earlier report that its upcoming Steam Machine cannot be upgraded by users.
Owners will not be locked out of modding, the company has now explained, but making alterations to the hardware will not be "easy".
"Enabling customers the opportunity to upgrade components has been a core tenet for Alienware since the company was founded, and that remains true today," Alienware boss Frank Azor explained to Eurogamer in a statement today.
Azor's comments take a different tack than his position earlier this week when he claimed that, for Alienware's Steam Machine, "there will be no customisation options, you can't really update it."
Nevertheless, Azor reiterated his earlier comment that users who are interested in heavily modding their hardware would be better off buying one of the company's more conventional models.
"If a customer is interested in modding and upgrading their rig on a regular basis, then we recommend the Alienware X51," he said. "Enabling easy upgradeability was a critical design requirement for the X51. It includes features such as single screw access to all internal components, and easy-to-remove ODD, HDD, graphics, etc.
"We feel we have multiple options for customers based on their individual needs. If a gamer wants more freedom to upgrade, we have the X51. If they would prefer a smaller, more console-like system, we will offer the Alienware Steam Machine."
A Steam Machine is expected to cost around the same price as a new generation console. The range will be updated with fresh hardware every year.

Steam Controller
A new way to play your entire Steam library from the sofa. Join the Steam hardware beta and help us shape a new generation of gaming.
A different kind of gamepad
Complete catalog
The Steam Controller is designed to work with all the games on Steam: past, present, and future. Even the older titles in the catalog and the ones which were not built with controller support. (We’ve fooled those older games into thinking they’re being played with a keyboard and mouse, but we’ve designed a gamepad that’s nothing like either one of those devices.) We think you’ll agree that we’re onto something with the Steam Controller, and now we want your help with the design process.
Superior performance
Traditional gamepads force us to accept compromises. We’ve made it a goal to improve upon the resolution and fidelity of input that’s possible with those devices. The Steam controller offers a new and, we believe, vastly superior control scheme, all while enabling you to play from the comfort of your sofa. Built with high-precision input technologies and focused on low-latency performance, the Steam controller is just what the living-room ordered.
Dual trackpads
Touch Screen
In the center of the controller is another touch-enabled surface, this one backed by a high-resolution screen. This surface, too, is critical to achieving the controller’s primary goal - supporting all games in the Steam catalog. The screen allows an infinite number of discrete actions to be made available to the player, without requiring an infinite number of physical buttons.
The whole screen itself is also clickable, like a large single button. So actions are not invoked by a simple touch, they instead require a click. This allows a player to touch the screen, browse available actions, and only then commit to the one they want. Players can swipe through pages of actions in games where that’s appropriate. When programmed by game developers using our API, the touch screen can work as a scrolling menu, a radial dial, provide secondary info like a map or use other custom input modes we haven’t thought of yet.
In order to avoid forcing players to divide their attention between screens, a critical feature of the Steam Controller comes from its deep integration with Steam. When a player touches the controller screen, its display is overlayed on top of the game they’re playing, allowing the player to leave their attention squarely on the action, where it belongs.
Every button and input zone has been placed based on frequency of use, precision required and ergonomic comfort. There are a total of sixteen buttons on the Steam Controller. Half of them are accessible to the player without requiring thumbs to be lifted from the trackpads, including two on the back. All controls and buttons have been placed symmetrically, making left or right handedness switchable via a software config checkbox.
Shared configurations
In order to support the full catalog of existing Steam games (none of which were built with the Steam Controller in mind), we have built in a legacy mode that allows the controller to present itself as a keyboard and mouse. The Steam Community can use the configuration tool to create and share bindings for their favorite games. Players can choose from a list of the most popular configurations.
• Can I use a controller if I don’t have a Steam machine?
Yes. It’ll work very well with any version of Steam.
• How will the beta controller differ from the one that’s for sale next year?
• What’s next?
We look forward to working together with you to design the future of Steam in the living room.

Predicting the product purchase patterns of corporate customers
This paper describes TIPPPS (Time Interleaved Product Purchase Prediction System), which analyses billing data of corporate customers in a large telecommunications company in order to predict high value upsell opportunities. The challenges presented by this prediction problem are significant. Firstly, the diversity of products used by corporate telecommunications customers is huge. This, coupled with low product take-up rates, makes this a problem of learning from a very high dimensional feature space with very few minority examples. Further, it is important to give priority specifically to the identification of those new customers who are of high value. These challenges are overcome by introducing a number of modifications to standard data pre-processing and machine learning algorithms, the most important of which are time-interleaving of data and value weighting. Time interleaving is the concatenation of examples from multiple time periods, thus increasing the number of training examples, and hence the number of minority examples. Value weighting assigns importance to minority examples in proportion to the dollar value of take-up, thus biasing the system to identify high value customers. These modifications create a novel algorithm that makes the prediction system practical and usable.Comparison with other techniques designed for similar problems shows that the expected average improvement in ranking accuracy achieved using these modifications is 3.7%. TIPPPS has been in operation for several months and has been successful in identifying many upsell opportunities that were not identified by using the previous manual system.

Dependence of Antigen Expression on Functional State of β-Cells
Antigen expression corresponding to anti-islet cell surface monoclonal antibodies IC2 and A2B5 was studied. IC2 is a rat-rat hybridoma autoantibody produced from the BB rat; among islet cells, IC2 is β-cell specific. A2B5 is an anti-ganglioside antibody described as labeling β-cells. Islets of Langerhans from Lewis rats were isolated and cultured for 18 h in RPMI-1640 with five different glucose concentrations (2.2, 3.3, 5.5, 11.1, and 18.3 mM). In some experiments, islets were precultured for 2 or 3 days. After isolation of islet cells and antibody labeling, the percent of IC2+ β-cells in the different groups increased from 33.3, 34.5, 40.9, and 57.2 to 58.6% (P < 10−6). For A2B5, the percent of labeled islet cells increased from 37.4, 41.8, 46.7, and 53.8 to 56.2% (P < 10−4). Thus, increasing glucose concentration leading to higher β-cell activity implies an increase in antigen expression. Neither A2B5 nor IC2 reacts with insulin, as shown by absorption experiments and immune electron microscopy of binding sites. Electron microscopy of IC2-gold-labeled islet cells substantiated the β-cell specificity of IC2. In conclusion, expression of the corresponding antigens to IC2 and A2B5 depends on the functional state of the β-cells; because this has been shown to be an important factor in the development of insulin-dependent diabetes, our findings may be of potential pathogenetic interest.

Design and in vitro evaluation of simvastatin-hydroxyapatite coatings by an electrochemical process on titanium surfaces.
The aim of this study was to deposit simvastatin-hydroxyapatite (sim-HA) coatings on titanium surfaces by an electrochemical process and evaluate osteoprogenitor cell responses to sim-HA-coated surfaces. Simvastatin was prepared onto titanium surfaces with varying concentration (10(-7), 10(-6), 10(-5) and 10(-4) mol/L). Surface characteristics were performed by FSEM, XRD and FTIR. LC-MS/MS method was used for simvastatin quantification in Sim-HA-coated surfaces. Murine calvaria-derived pre-osteoblastic cell (MC3T3-E1) proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP) and osteocalcin release were used to measure osteoblastic activities. FSEM observation showed rod-like HA crystals covered on all surfaces. As drug concentration increased, the crystal diameter decreased. XRD and FTIR observations showed all coatings consisted of HA. LC-MS/MS test showed the simvastatin concentration in 10(-6) mol/L group was 2.77 x 10(-7) mol/L/cm2, while in 10(-7) mol/L group was 1.89 x 10(-7) mol/L/cm2. MC3T3-E1 cells grown on 10(-7) mol/L and 10(-6) mol/L Sim-HA surfaces showed increased ALP activity as compared to HA-coated surfaces on day 7 (P < 0.05) while at 10 day, all Sim-HA groups were significantly increased than HA group (P < 0.05). Two Sim-HA groups showed significant increases in osteocalcin production on 7 10 and 14 day (P < 0.05). It showed that incubation with 10(-7) mol/L simvastatin enhanced the cell proliferation to a statistically significant extent (P < 0.05) compared with the HA group at day 7. It was concluded that simvastatin was successfully deposited into HA coatings using the electrochemical process and the sim-HA coatings enhanced differentiation of osteoprogenitor cells.

The US recession has opened up the biggest gap between male and female unemployment rates since records began in 1948, as men bear the blow of the economy's decline. Men have lost almost 80% of the 5.1 million jobs since the recession started, pushing the male unemployment rate to 8.8%. The female jobless rate has hit 7%. This is a dramatic change of the trend over the past few years, where the rates of male and female unemployment barely differed, at about 5%. It also means that women could soon overtake men as the majority of the prefix = st1 /USlabour force. Men have been badly hurt because they dominate those industries that have been affected: 9 in every 10 construction workers are male, as are 7 in every 10 manufacturing workers. These two sectors alone have lost almost 2.5 million jobs. Women, in contrast, tend to hold more stable jobs and make up 75% of the most unaffected sectors of all: education and healthcare. "It protects them a little bit and softens the blow," said Francine Blau, a labour market economist at CornellUniversity. "I think we are going to see this pattern until the recovery." The widening gap between male and female joblessness means many US families are totally reliant on the income the woman brings in. Since women earn on average 20% less than men, that is putting extra stress on many households. What does Francine Blau really mean by his words?
A. Most households in the USdepend entirely on the female income.
B. The female superiority in certain sectors may continue for the moment.
C. Men won't dominate industries like building and manufacturing as they once did.
D. Little difference existed between the rates of male and female joblessness in the past.

Torsade de pointes caused by high‐dose intravenous haloperidol in cardiac patients
Intravenous haloperidol is the agent of choice for controlling severe agitated delirium in seriously ill cardiac patients in many institutions. Prior reports have proposed that high‐dose intravenous haloperidol may be without untoward effects in these patients. Recently, however, a few reports of significant QTc prolongation and torsade de pointes as complications of high‐dose intravenous haloperidol therapy have appeared. The present report describes three patients with definite haloperidol‐induced QTc prolongation and torsade. In each case, QTc prolongation preceded the arrhythmia and disappeared following the discontinuation of haloperidol. Neither electrolyte imbalance, therapy with other cardiac drugs, bradycardia, ischemia, left ventricular dysfunction, nor other known cause of torsade was present in these patients. It is hypothesized that QTc prolongation and torsade likely are idiosyncratic, unpredictable reactions to high‐dose haloperidol in select patients. Careful serial electrocardiographic monitoring and prompt discontinuation of the drug should suffice to prevent this relatively uncommon, life‐threatening complication of high‐dose intravenous haloperidol.

Anna Riviere was one of the most admired of 19th-century English sopranos . She was also one of the most adventuresome. She was born in London on January 9th, 1810. She entered the Royal Academy of Music at the age of 14. Seven years later, just after her first show, Anna married Sir Henry Bishop, who was 24 years her senior. Her reputation as a singer grew rapidly, based largely on her tours with Sir Henry and harpist Nicholas Bochsa. After a tour of Dublin, Edinburgh, and London, Anna Bishop deserted her husband and three children and ran away with Bochsa. From then on, Madame Bishop--as she continued to be known--traveled and sang as if her life depended on it. Between 1839 and 1843 she traveled to every major town in Europe, where she sang in 260 concerts. In the course of two years in Naples, she performed in 20 operas. In 1855 she and Bochsa sailed for Sydney, Australia. He died there the following year, and Anna went on to tour South America before returning to New York, where she married a diamond merchant. Then she began what proved her most dangerous adventure. After another American tour in 1866, she and her husband set sail across the Pacific. They were shipwrecked on a small coral reef, and for more than a month they drifted in a small boat before they finally reaching Guam. She had lost her music, her wardrobe, and her jewelry, but Madame Bishop was not to be stopped. She went on to Manila and began a concert tour that led to Hong Kong, Singapore, and India before she went back to England. After another two-year world tour she returned eventually to New York, where she gave her last public performance in 1883--at age 73. Meanwhile the husband she left behind, Sir Henry, had become famous for writing the music to lyrics that might eventually have been meaningful to Anna Bishop--"Home, Sweet Home." Sir Henry is a _ .

I realized that I was getting cold, and felt it was probably time to go back to the apartment, so I put my collar up against the wind and began to walk back up the cold street. I managed to get some food from a vendor , and walked on. About twenty-five minutes later I knew that something was wrong. It was getting very, very cold, there were no streetlights, and the hill I was hoping to see on my right was nowhere in sight. There was almost no light except for mysterious red crosses shining from the tops of churches, and I was beginning to get worried. To cut a long story short, I had walked the wrong way from a crossroads, and had wandered miles in the wrong direction. My head was aching from the cold, and I couldn't think straight. Turing around, I started back, and a long time later was outside the house I had set off from. It was at about that time I realized that I had a gate key but no house key. How happy I was when I found that the front door was open--my only piece of good luck that day. My apartment was of course locked, my head felt like it was about to explode, and my hands and feet were freezing. I tried turning the handle. No luck. I tried another key from England. I wanted to avoid waking the family downstairs, so despite the fear of an early death from cold, I couldn't break the door down. What would my hosts think? I pulled an ATM card from my pocket and forced it alongside the inside of the lock. I didn't think it would work, but after fifteen minutes of trying, I heard a click. Another couple of minutes later the door was open. Relieved, I took off my clothes in the dark and got into bed. What made the author find he had walked the wrong way?

Global warming and changing climatic conditions are triggering disease epidemics in wildlife around the world, reports a famous team of ecologists and epidemiologists in the Friday June 21st issue of Science. "What is most surprising is the fact that climate sensitive outbreaks are happening with so many different types of pathogens ----viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites----as well as in such a wide range of hosts including corals, oysters, terrestrial plants, birds, and humans, " says lead author Drew Harvell of Cornell University. "This isn't just a question of coral bleaching for a few marine ecologists, nor just a question of malaria for a few health officials---the number of similar increases in disease incidence is astonishing," says coauthor Richard Ostfeld from the Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook prefix = st1 /New York. "We don't want to be alarmists, but we are alarmed." The team documented examples of viruses, bacteria, and fungi associated with diseases that develop more rapidly with slight rises in temperature. Many vectors of disease such as mosquitoes, flies, and rodents, as well as the viral, fungal, and bacterial pathogens are highly temperature and moisture sensitive. As temperature increases, _ are likely to spread into new areas and may have potentially devastating effects on wildlife populations that have not been previously exposed. Reproduction, growth, and biting rates of insects all go up with increases of temperature. Winter is the limiting time for many pathogens, killing back populations each year. With milder winters, this population bottleneck may be removed for many species. Warmer, longer summers also mean that the period of time of disease transmission is longer. Warmer summers may increase host susceptibility to disease due to thermal stress, particularly in the oceans. Marine bacteria and fungal growth rates are positively correlated with increasing temperature. Where can we probably find this passage? In a _ .

Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course that he attends gives him a credit, which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses, each lasting for a term. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend two terms a year. It is possible to spread a period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this in fact is not done as a regular practice. For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded and available for the student to show employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of study, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activities in student affairs. Elections to positions in the student union arouse great interests. Students who are qualified usually perform the effective work of the student union. With the big numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain number of activities. A student who has held one of these positions in the union is much respected and it willbe of benefitto him. According to the writer, a grade is provided _ .
A. to the parents who care for it
B. to impose a pressure on the students
C. to see whether a student is more intelligent
D. as a record showed to the employers in job-interview.

Childhood disadvantage, cigarette smoking, and mental health: a mediation effect of social engagement
ABSTRACT Drawing from a life course paradigm, this study explores the associations between childhood disadvantage, social engagement, cigarette smoking, and depressive symptoms. Data come from the three waves of Americans’ Changing Lives survey (N = 2348). This study examines whether childhood disadvantage (e.g. childhood parental divorce, serious parental marital problems, and family violence) has effects on later health and social relationships. Additionally, it looks at whether social engagement mediates the relationships between childhood disadvantage, cigarette use, and mental health. Regression results suggest that childhood adversities are associated with an increase in cigarette smoking, depressive symptoms, and a decrease in participation in religious organizations later in life. Moreover, poor social engagement (in this study, attending religious services) is mediated the relationship between childhood disadvantage, cigarette smoking, and mental health. These findings demonstrate the negative effects of childhood stressors on later health and well-being and suggest greater attention be given to early family history and social ties.

Streptococcal Necrotizing Fasciitis with Toxic Shock Syndrome and Rapid Fatal Outcome.
INTRODUCTION
Streptococcal necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a serious soft tissue infection with rapid progression of inflammatory process among superficial or deep fascia, systemic host response to infection leading to toxic shock syndrome (TSS), and multiple organ failure. Lethality is high.
CASE OUTLINE
A 46-year-old male without co-morbidities was admitted to the Emergency Department with redness, swelling and pain on his right lower leg. He became sick two days earlier with malaise, chills and shivering. On admission he was hypotensive, anuric, with erythematous rash on his face, neck and chest, with acute renal failure and elevated creatine phosphokinase level. During the next several hours, the changes on his right lower leg rapidly spread to the whole leg, followed by skin destruction and subcutaneous bleeding, indicating NF. Aggressive antimicrobial, supportive and symptomatic therapy was initiated immediately and on the same evening surgical intervention was performed. Despite these measures, a rapid development of severe TSS, with lethal outcome, occurred in less than 40 hours after the admission. Streptococcus pyogenes (group A β-hemolytic Streptococcus) was isolated from the throat, skin and tissue obtained during the surgery.
CONCLUSION
Necrotizing fasciitis is a very serious disease with unpredictable course. For that reason doctors must devote a great deal of attention to early, i.e. timely diagnosis of this disease, whose treatment with a multidisciplinary approach is very important.

Is this the only way for students to learn something? Of course not. There is another way to learn: students can teach themselves. For example, if you can't remember something when you are doing your homework, you can look at your book to find the answer. This is a way to teach yourself. And it is not a difficult thing. We can do this at any place and at any time. How do you teach yourself? The first thing you must do is reading. Read something you are interested in. or you have to read. The second is that you must ask yourself questions. The question is something you don't understand, or you want to know more about. You can write down these questions. A clever student is usually good at asking questions. The third is to answer the question yourself by thinking hard, by reading the passage or other books, and sometimes by asking other people. This is the way of teaching yourself. And you must do this all by yourself. If you keep doing like for a long time, you are sure to succeed in your study. Listening to the teacher is _ for students to learn something.

The first time I saw Carlos I would never have believed he was going to change my life.I had my arms full of books and I was rushing into the classroom when 1 ran into something solid. It was Carlos. "My... you're tall," he said. The whole class burst out laughing . "Take that seat," Mr. McCarthy told the cocky newcomer Carlos,pointing to the only empty one , in the back of the room. Carlos laughed widely. "But I need a couple of dictionaries." The bell rang for classes. As I stood up to go, I saw Carlos coming toward me. "I'm sorry I embarrassed you," he said . I looked straight ahead over the top of his black hair. "That's all right." "I ought to know better." He was still blocking my way. "What's your name?" "Karen Forbes." He held out his hand. Unwillingly, I shook hands with him. He looked up at me seriously with his brown eyes. " I am Carlos . I don't see why you're so _ " It was the school elections that made me think of Carlos again. Carlos was voted vice-president."How come ?"I kept asking myself, "How come this shrimp who's only been in town for a little over a month gets to be so popular?" So on that morning,I stopped Carlos and said,"It doesn't seem to bother you -- being short." He looked up at me, "Of course I mind being short.But there isn't anything I can do about it. When I realized I was going to have to spend my life in this undersized skin, I just decided to make the best of it and concentrate on being myself." "You seem to get along great," I admitted, "But what about me? The trouble with you is you're afraid to be yourself. You're smart. And you could be pretty. In fact, you might be more than pretty." I felt myself turning red... According to the text, which is the most likely ending?
A. The author didn't want to make friends with Carlos
B. Carlos and the author argued with each other.
C. The author changed her attitude towards Carlos.
D. Carlos was elected president of the student committee.

Java - Multithreading one big loop
This is probably a pretty easy question, but as I never worked with threads before I figured it would be best to ask instead of trying to find the optimal solution completely on my own.
I have a giant for loop that runs literally billions of times. On each on loop run, according to the current index, the program calculates a final result in the form of a number. I am only interested in storing the top result(or top x results), and its corresponding index.
My question is simple, what would be the right way running this loop in threads so it uses all the available CPUs/cores.
int topResultIndex;
double topResult = 0;
for (i=1; i < 1000000000; ++i) {
double result = // some complicated calculation based on the current index
if (result > topResult) {
topResult = result;
topResultIndex = i;
}
}
The calculation is completely independent for each index, no resources are shared. topResultIndex and topResult will be obviously accessed by each thread though.
* Update: Both Giulio's and rolfl's solution are good, also very similar. Could only accept one of them as my answer.
Let's assume that the result is computed by a calculateResult(long) method, which is private and static, and does not access any static field, (it can also be non-static, but still it must be thread-safe and concurrently-executable, hopefully thread-confined).
Then, I think this will do the dirty work:
public static class Response {
int index;
double result;
}
private static class MyTask implements Callable<Response> {
private long from;
private long to;
public MyTask(long fromIndexInclusive, long toIndexExclusive) {
this.from = fromIndexInclusive;
this.to = toIndexExclusive;
}
public Response call() {
int topResultIndex;
double topResult = 0;
for (long i = from; i < to; ++i) {
double result = calculateResult(i);
if (result > topResult) {
topResult = result;
topResultIndex = i;
}
}
Response res = new Response();
res.index = topResultIndex;
res.result = topResult;
return res;
}
};
private static calculateResult(long index) { ... }
public Response interfaceMethod() {
//You might want to make this static/shared/global
ExecutorService svc = Executors.newCachedThreadPool();
int chunks = Runtime.getRuntime().availableProcessors();
long iterations = 1000000000;
MyTask[] tasks = new MyTask[chunks];
for (int i = 0; i < chunks; ++i) {
//You'd better cast to double and round here
tasks[i] = new MyTask(iterations / chunks * i, iterations / chunks * (i + 1));
}
List<Future<Response>> resp = svc.invokeAll(Arrays.asList(tasks));
Iterator<Future<Response>> respIt = resp.iterator();
//You'll have to handle exceptions here
Response bestResponse = respIt.next().get();
while (respIt.hasNext()) {
Response r = respIt.next().get();
if (r.result > bestResponse.result) {
bestResponse = r;
}
}
return bestResponse;
}
From my experience, this division in chunks is much faster that having a task for each index (especially if the computational load for each single index is small, like it probably is. By small, I mean less than half a second). It's a bit harder to code, though, because you need to make a 2-step maximization (first at chunk-level, then at a global level). With this, if the computation is purely cpu-based (does not push the ram too much) you should get a speedup almost equal to 80% the number of physical cores.

Frame design of sports image analysis system based on fuzzy clustering algorithm
In this paper, the sports image analysis system has been redesigned, the functions of each part have been strengthened, and the technologies such as visualization processing, large-capacity database and evaluation system, newly developed image acquisition and joint position extraction have been added. The successful development of this system will be of great benefit to sports technical action analysis. Aiming at the defects of rough image segmentation results and high spatial distortion rate in current sports video image segmentation methods, a sports video image segmentation method based on fuzzy clustering algorithm is proposed. The basic theory of fuzzy clustering algorithm is introduced. Second-order fuzzy attributes with normal distribution and gray value are established with the help of time-domain difference images, and then the time-domain difference images are fuzzy clustered, and then motion video image segmentation is obtained through edge detection. result. Experimental results prove that the method has high spatial accuracy, good noise iteration performance, low spatial distortion rate, and can accurately segment complex moving video images to obtain high-definition images.

Responsive Fault-Tolerant Computing in the Era of Terascale Integration State of Art Report
Scaling in hardware integration process results in IC-process geometry reductions, lower operating voltages and increased clock speeds. This paper first surveys the reliability obstacles these developments give rise to and then points out that computing systems can no longer be safely assumed to fail only by crashing. Yet this assumption is at the core of primary-backup replication which the literature presents as the appropriate, and hence the most widely used, strategy for time-critical fault-tolerant applications. The paper then observes that building computing nodes with announced crash failure mode is a promising way forward to deal with the emerging reliability challenges. Work carried out to assure such a failure mode has also been briefly surveyed.

[A differentiated approach to analysis of retinal fluid and assessment of its effect on anti-VEGF therapy of neovascular age-related macular degeneration].
Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) causes rapid irreversible vision loss presenting a serious socio-economic problem. The recommended approach to the treatment of this pathology is the use of angiogenesis inhibitors (anti-VEGF drugs). Following the proactive principles when conducting anti-VEGF treatment helps achieve the maximum therapeutic efficacy. The evolution of diagnostic capabilities and the rising awareness of the pathogenetic features of nAMD have contributed to implementation of a more personalized approach of conducting intravitreal injections, bringing to light the necessity of determining the diagnostic criteria for repeated anti-VEGF injections. Currently, the discourse looks at the subject of OCT criteria that could act as sufficiently reliable biomarkers to help decide the change in frequency of intravitreal injections. A differentiated approach to defining the role of retinal fluid as a marker of disease activity depending on the compartment of its localization on the OCT images has not been fully determined and is of particular scientific and practical interest. The importance of correct interpretation and understanding of differences in the effects of various types of retinal fluid on the frequency of anti-VEGF injections will be discussed in this review.

If you look at the sky one night and see something moving and shining that you have never seen before, it might be a comet . A comet sometimes looks like a star. Like a planet, a comet has no light of its own. It shines from the sunlight it reflects . Like the earth a comet goes around the sun, but on a much longer path than the earth travels. If a comet isn't a star, what is it then? Some scientists think that a large part of a comet is water frozen into pieces of ice and mixed with iron and rock dust and perhaps a few big pieces of rock. When sunshine melts the ice in the comet, great clouds of gas go trailing after it. These clouds, together with the dust, form a long tail. Many people have seen a comet. However, no one knows how many comets there are. There may be millions of comets, but only a few come close enough for us to see. An Englishman named Edmund Halley, who lived from 1656 to 1742, found out a lot about the paths that comets take through the sky. Some comets move out of our sight and never come back. Others keep coming back at regular times. A big comet that keeps coming back was named after Halley comet, because the last time it came close to the sun and the earth was in the year 1986. Then people all over the world were outside at night to look at it. You will probably be able to see Halley's comet when it comes near the earth again. ,A, B, C, D,. When did Halley's comet come close to the sun and the earth last time?
A. In 1656.
B. In 1742.
C. In 1986.

Vanished: Is This for Real?
Spontaneous regression (SR) of lung cancer is especially rare. We report a case of an early endobronchial squamous cell carcinoma that exhibited complete radiologic and pathologic SR soon after diagnosis. The patient was monitored radiologically and bronchoscopically at regular intervals and to date, the biopsy samples have been negative. Remarkably, SR has been maintained 6 years after diagnosis, without local recurrence or distant metastases. Many hypotheses abound to explain how complete SR was achieved and maintained despite the lack of treatment.

A nonlinear observability formulation for power systems incorporating generator and load dynamics
Traditionally, observability in power systems is derived from the state-estimation problem and is based on a non-linear algebraic model of the system. This measure of system observability focuses on the sensitivity of the system measurements to the change In the system states. Since the model of the system used is an algebraic model, describing the flow of power throughout the network, the non-linear dynamics of the system related to generator performance and non-linear components are ignored. The proposed observability formulation accounts for these non-linearities and provides a more comprehensive observability determination with the ability to track the observability determination of the system along the trajectory of the dynamic system states. The observability formulation of the system is sensitive to the trajectories of the system states, and the regions of the statespace where the system observability is lost are presented. A qualitative analysis for the limits of the observability formulation is presented for a 3-bus power system.

Characterization of Microbiota of Root Canal-Treated Teeth with Posttreatment Disease
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the microbiota of root canals undergoing retreatment. The most prevalent taxa detected by checkerboard included Propionibacterium species, Fusobacterium nucleatum, streptococci, and Pseudoramibacter alactolyticus. Quantitative real-time PCR detected Enterococcus faecalis and streptococci in 38% and 41% of the cases, comprising 9.76% and 65.78% of the total bacterial counts, respectively. The findings call into question the status of E. faecalis as the main pathogen and suggest that other species can be candidate pathogens associated with persistent/secondary endodontic infections.

Now satellites are helping to forecast the weather. They are in space and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere , because this is where the weather forms . They send these pictures to the weather station. So meteorologists can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change. Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours .This may mean the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this. So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for 3 or 5 days. Soon, perhaps , they may forecast the weather for a week or more ahead Meteorologists forecast the weather _ .
A. when they have received satellite pictures
B. after they have compared new satellite pictures with earlier ones
C. before they receive satellite pictures
D. while they study satellite pictures

He said, "Kind sir, can you tell me how soon I can get to town?" "Go," Aesop answered. "Of course I know I must go," said the man," But I want to know how soon I can get to town." "Go," Aesop shouted to him again. The man got angry. "He must be mad," he thought. And he walked away. Suddenly he heard Aesop shouting to him, "You will get to town in two hours."The man was in great surprise. He turned back and asked, "Why didn't you tell me that before?"

Family Structure, Home Time Demands, and the Employment Patterns of Japanese Married Women
A recent (1990) national survey is used in an econometric analysis of Japanese women's hourly pay and employment patterns. It confirms many results from Western industrial countries but also indicates the important influence of Japan's unique family structure, the persistence of multigenerational households, on married women's employment patterns. Younger married women are more likely to take paid employment in such households, particularly on a full-time basis, than in nuclear family households. This appears to reflect in part the child-care role played by the woman's parents or parents-in-law.

Band valley modification under strain in monolayer WSe2
We study the band valley modification induced by isotropic strain in monolayer WSe2 using the non-local van der Waals density functionals theory including the spin–orbit coupling effect. The dominant contributions of orbitals to the band extrema, spin splitting, and exciton diversity in monolayer WSe2 are visually displayed. The vertical shift of the d and p partial orbitals of W and Se atoms, respectively, at band edges under strain results in a notable reduction of the bandgap. Under tensile strain, the deformations of the band valleys lead to an additional appearance of optical excitons and the disappearance of momentum excitons. Therefore, the experimental observations of the changes in the radiation spectra such as the redshift of A and B excitons, blueshift of C and D excitons, enhancement of intensity, localization, and symmetrization of the exciton resonances can be explained thoroughly. Under compression, the band valley modification may lead to an additional appearance of momentum excitons and the disappearance of optical excitons. The compression is predicted to cause the blueshift of A and B excitons while it brings the redshift to C and D excitons. An asymmetric broadening and intensity de-enhancement of the exciton resonances are also found when a compression strain is applied. The modification of the band valleys can be explained by the enhancement/reduction of hybridization between orbitals under strain. These results offer new perspectives to comprehend the appearance/disappearance of the excitons in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide materials upon mechanical perturbation.

Many people will remember the flight of the space shuttle Challenger , in June, 1993.The achievement of Sally Ride, America's first woman astronaut to fly into space, made this flight especially memorable.Students from two high schools in Camden, New Jersey, however, are likely to remember Norma rather than Sally whenever they think about the flight. Norma didn't travel alone.She brought about 100 companions along with her.Norma was an ant, a queen ant who, with her subjects, made up the first ant colony to travel into space.The ants were part of a science experiment designed by the students to test the effects of weightlessness on insects. The equipment designed by the students for their colony functioned perfectly throughout the long space trip.The young scientists and their teachers were very sad to find that their insect astronauts had all died at some point before the container was returned to the school and opened.The problem did not occur in space, but on the ground after Challenger had landed.The container remained in the desert for nearly a week before the ant colony was removed.The hot, dry desert air dried out the colony's container and the ants died from lack of moisture . The project was termed a success because it did provide useful information.Students will continue their efforts to find out exactly what went wrong.They will try to prevent the same difficulties from recurring on future missions .They don't want to be discouraged either by the death of the ants or by the $10,000 shuttle fare they will have to pay to send the next colony of ants into space. The story is mainly about_.
A. Sally Ride's first ride
B. space equipment for insects
C. a space experiment with ants
D. going to school in New Jersey

The relationship between levels of cerebrospinal fluid myelin basic protein and IgG measurements in patients with multiple sclerosis.
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) myelin basic protein (MBP) levels, CSF/serum albumin ratio (CSF/S alb), and 4 CSF IgG measurements--absolute CSF IgG level (CSF IgG), CSF IgG/albumin ratio, the Tibbling-Link IgG index, and the daily rate of intrathecal IgG synthesis--were measured in patients with multiple sclerosis and control subjects. In four clinical subgroups of patients, including 22 with polysymptomatic exacerbations, 22 with monosymptomatic exacerbations, 41 with chronic progressive disease, and 21 in remission, there was no correlation between CSF MBP and either CSF/S alb or the CSF IgG measurements. This finding was also observed in longitudinal studies of patients. CSF MBP levels, as determined in a cross-sectional study of 325 patients with multiple sclerosis, are an excellent indicator of disease activity.

INVERSE PROBLEMS NEWSLETTER
The Newsletter is a key element in further enhancing the value of the journal to the inverse problems community. So why not be a part of this exciting forum by sending to our Bristol office material suitable for inclusion under any of the categories mentioned above. Your contributions will be very welcome. Book review Rank-Deficient and Discrete Ill-Posed Problems, Numerical Aspects of Linear Inversion P C Hansen 1998 Philadelphia: SIAM 247 pp ISBN 0-89871-403-6 $44.00 For more than ten years, Per Christian Hansen has been one of the leading experts in the field of numerical linear algebra for discrete ill-posed problems. In this monograph he presents a detailed and comprehensive description of the state-of-the-art techniques for solving linear equations for this class of ill-conditioned problems. In the first chapter, the author carefully distinguishes between rank-deficient and (discrete) ill-posed problems Ax=b in terms of the singular values of the matrix A. Rank-deficient problems are characterized by those matrices having a cluster of small singular values which are well separated from the other singular values. Ill-posed problems do not have this property, i.e. the singular values decay gradually to zero with no particular gap between them. They arise naturally from the discretization of integral equations of the first kind while rank-deficient matrices can be considered as perturbations of singular but well-conditioned matrices B in the sense that is not too large. (Here denotes the Moore - Penrose inverse of B.) In section 1.2 he summarizes basic facts on ill-posed problems described by integral equations of the first kind. Emphasis is placed on singular value decomposition as the basic tool for its analysis. The principle of regularization is introduced for both continuous and discrete problems. At the end of this chapter the author formulates four test examples: the first, from signal processing, leads to a rank-deficient problem, the second is the computation of the second derivative and is the discretization of a modestly ill-posed problem. The last two examples are discretizations of integral equations with analytic kernels and lead to highly ill-posed problems. Chapter 2 presents the essential tools for the analysis of discrete ill-posed problems which are fundamental throughout the book. A central role is played, as indicated above, by singular value decomposition and its various generalizations including a brief survey on their numerical computations. In chapter 3, rank-deficient problems are treated. For this class of problems the notion of the numerical -rank of a matrix makes sense and leads to a natural regularization concept. Perturbation bounds and the efficient computation by truncated SVD or QR decompositions are explained and illustrated by a number of numerical examples. In contrast, the regularization of ill-posed problems derived from the discretization of integral equations of the first kind is more difficult. In chapter 4, the author introduces filter factors, the resolution matrix, and the L-curve approach as useful regularization tools. The author distinguishes between direct and iterative regularization methods. In chapter 5 he studies the first class of methods among which the Tikhonov regularization is the most popular. For each of these methods he formulates perturbation bounds and discusses the numerical aspects. In the reviewer's opinion, a highlight of this chapter is the illustrative examples at the end where the different regularization schemes are compared with each other. The iterative regularization methods are the subject of chapter 6. Emphasis is placed on conjugate gradient methods. The implementation of the standard CG algorithm by means of the Lanczos bidiagonalization algorithm is explained and various modifications are discussed. The author reviews results on regularization and convergence properties and devotes one section to the Lanczos bidiagonalization algorithm in finite precision. Finally, chapter 7 surveys methods for choosing the regularization parameter, a problem of obvious importance. Classical discrepancy principles are discussed as well as more recent modifications, methods based on error estimation, generalized cross-validation, and the L-curve criterion. An impressive bibliography of 378 references completes this monograph. As the author points out in the preface, this book is not intended to be an introduction into either the field of inverse problems or numerical linear algebra. It is not a textbook. The monograph contains almost no proofs but always references to the literature. It is the purpose of the book to give a survey of state-of-the-art numerical methods for solving rank-deficient or discrete ill-posed problems. In the referee's opinion there is no other book around which serves this goal even nearly as well as this one. This work truly fills a gap in the literature on inverse problems and ill-posed problems and is strongly recommended for every applied mathematician or engineer who has to solve rank-deficient or ill-posed problems numerically.

No matter how well you understand a foreign language, misunderstanding still exists between native speakers and you. Here is such an example. Three young Frenchmen were travelling in Britain. Though they had taken a few English lessons before their holiday, they were often in trouble because of their misunderstanding of English. One day they talked about their misfortunes together. The first Frenchman said, "I once heard someone shout 'Look out', I put my head out of a window and a bucket of water fell on me." The second Frenchman said, "I was once in a ship and heard the captain shouted, 'All hands on decks ' I put my hands on the deck and someone walked on them." The third Frenchman said, "I once called early on an English friend and the maid who came to the door said, 'He's not up yet' When I went again for him, she said, 'He's not down yet'. I said, 'If he's not up and he's not down, where is he?' She said, 'He's still upstairs now. When I told you he was not up I meant he had not got up yet, so he has not come downstairs by now' " Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Misunderstanding of English
B. Three Young Frenchmen
C. Misfortunes of Three Frenchmen
D. A Few English Lessons

Heritage Council of Western Australia
The Heritage Council of Western Australia is the Government of Western Australia agency created to identify, conserve and promote places of cultural heritage significance in the state.
Prior to its creation, considerable variance in policy and political controversies arose over heritage issues in Western Australia, such as the Barracks Arch and the demolition of buildings in the Perth central business district.
It was preceded by the Western Australian Heritage Committee, which had been heavily involved in the 1988 Australian Bicentenary, and the setting up of the W.A. Heritage Trails Network.
It was created under the "Heritage of Western Australia Act" (1990). The Council maintains the State Register of Heritage Places.
The council also records and lists places that are listed in "Municipal Heritage Inventories" which are significant in local communities - but which do not gain state-level status.
It is sometimes incorrectly confused with the National Trust of Australia (W.A.), a non-government body which also assesses and classifies heritage places and buildings for inclusion on its own register. It also quite distinct from the Perth City Council body Heritage Perth, which deals with the City of Perth heritage issues.
It has had various publications during its existence.
It is also involved in the annual WA Heritage Awards.

Lisa Corinne Davis
Lisa Corinne Davis is an American visual artist known for abstract paintings and works on paper that suggest maps and other encoded forms of knowledge. She employs abstraction as a means of rendering the complexities of contemporary experience—including her own as an African-American woman—often questioning preconceived notions about identity, classification, and rationality versus subjectivity. Her densely layered, colorful work merges contrasting schemas, visual elements and formal languages, blurring distinctions between figuration and abstraction, real and fictive spaces and concepts, and microcosmic or macrocosmic reference. "Brooklyn Rail" critic Joan Waltemath wrote, "The urban experiences of space and time that Davis presents are subtle distillations of moment and coincidence ... Her attempt to map the shattered terrain of contemporary life points both to an awareness of other times and a belief in navigating the present one."
In 2022, Davis was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship. She has also received awards from institutions including the American Academy of Arts and Letters, Pollock-Krasner and Louis Comfort Tiffany foundations, and National Endowment for the Arts. Her work belongs to the public collections of the Museum of Modern Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, and Victoria and Albert Museum (London), among others. She lives and works in Brooklyn and Hudson, New York and is a professor of art at Hunter College.
Early life and career.
Davis was born in Baltimore, Maryland. She and her brother were raised by their mother after their father died when Davis was four. Her mother worked two jobs in order to send her children to a private, otherwise all-white Quaker school; she also earned a PhD and a JD, becoming one of the first African-American women in Maryland to do so. Davis attended Cornell University for two years before enrolling as a painting major at Pratt Institute in 1978 and earning a BFA in 1980. She went to graduate school at Hunter College, studying with Lynda Benglis, Ron Gorchov and Rosalind Krauss, among others, on the way to earning an MFA in 1983.
Davis began receiving recognition in the 1990s, for exhibitions at Art in General, Bronx Museum of The Arts, and Aljira, among others. She also began teaching at that time, serving at Parsons School of Design, Cooper Union, Yale University, and beginning in 2002, Hunter College, where she co-directs the MFA Studio Art program.
Work and reception.
Critic Karen Wilkin has written that Davis "courts ambiguity and multivalent associations" through an "inventive abstract language" informed by personal experience, social observation and the history of art. Her map-like compositions simultaneously evoke and undermine systems of coding and categorizing race, identity and knowledge, privileging complexity, contingency and the primacy of direct, individual understanding and perception over collective, often essentialist frameworks. She does so by counterposing divergent structures and artistic forms in order to navigate between ideas of rationality and order and modes of expressivity, subjectivity and chaos. Her mark-making fuses two kinds of abstract language: line—as used objectively in geometry, mathematics and grids—and gesture, typically regarded in terms of affective expression (e.g., in Abstract Expressionism). In a similar way, she employs both objective, "natural" color and expressive, sometimes artificial color, moving between descriptive and psychological modes. Such juxtapositions also play out in the titles of her works, which frequently merge "factually" grounded words (territory, atlas, computation, position) with internal, subjective words (specious, psychopathic, metaphysical, impersonation).
Early mixed-media work (1990–2003).
Davis's early mixed-media work used visual analogies to examine race, the quest for individual identity, and distinctions between self and other, individual and group. This work included ink self-portraits—which she covered with graphite, leaving only ghostly figural images below semi-reflective surfaces—and wall pieces and objects that combined raw construction with delicate painted imagery. "Essential Traits No. 1" (1996) was a representative early work, constructed out of pages from an old American history text, overwritten with new text that conveyed the constraints on identity posed by racially derived cultural assumptions.
In solo shows at June Kelly (1998), Lehman College (2001) and Marlborough Gallery (2003), Davis produced obsessive, elaborately layered collage-style works that wedded modernist abstraction and postmodern content. They were created out of hundreds of variable elements taken from magazines, novels and history books: multiracial headshots, cutouts of eyes, multicultural alphabet signs, maps and fingerprints, reproduced in a palette approximating a range of skin tones. She combined them into large, quilt- or chart-like compositions that abstracted systems of categorization while blurring reductive labels in favor of an individualistic view of social complexity. "New York Times" critic Ken Johnson wrote that this work "meditated with poetic indirection on race, culture, history and geography," while Holland Cotter described it as a blend of "pointed information and good-looking painting."
Painting (2005– ).
In the 2000s, Davis staked out an increasingly abstract and fluid position in canvases that resembled maps or networks and explored systemic, documentary and narrative impulses. Situated more purely in painting, they dispensed with collage elements but retained that aesthetic through a dense layering of imagery and techniques. Davis approached subject matter in a more subtle, open-ended manner balanced with formal concerns, expanding earlier examinations of racial, gender and identity codes into evocations of wider knowledge systems, often revealed as contingent and futile in terms of their ability to capture the plurality of life.
The paintings in her show "Fact & Fiction" (June Kelly, 2007) combined skeins of curling lines, flat cartoonish shapes, and passages of spilled or squeezed paint, layered over backgrounds of blue, white, and green squares. The lines suggested skewed latitude and longitude grids or organic webs, while the flat shapes resembled landmasses or plant, insect and anatomical forms, accumulating details suggesting the technical and the handmade (e.g., "Mutant Schema", 2006; "Doodle Verité", 2007). Davis painted them with an eye-catching, sometimes artificial palette that departed from the more somber earth and flesh tones of her past work; at times, the color emitted an unsettling or poisonous aura, evoking burst corpuscles, cellular malignancies, fire or lethal sludge, as with the feverish, red-orange smears and shapes in works such as "Verifiably Metaphysical" and "Regulatory Plasma" (both 2007). "Art in America" 's Lilly Wei wrote, Davis's "riddled maps seem both familiar and not, suggesting aerial views of enigmatic terrain, details of a landscape in toxic erosion … an updated "War of the Worlds" [schema] or a blueprint of our ecological madness."
In exhibitions between 2010 and 2017—at Lesley Heller, Spanierman Modern, Galerie Gris and Gerald Peters (New York), Zolla/Lieberman (Chicago), and Mayor Gallery (London)—Davis extended the complexity of her themes and abstract syntaxes. Her proliferating forms—seemingly drawn from microscopic and macroscopic realms (cells, roads, maps, city grids, geographic fault lines), as well as the mechanical world of circuits and motherboards—charted concepts encompassing the urban experience of space and time, the fragmentation of contemporary life, and the diverse, intersecting strands of identity. Critics described them as "haphazardly rendered topographies or warped atlas pages" delicately balanced between organic chaos and linear order, whose titles (e.g., "Psychopathic Territory" and "Psychotropic Turf", both 2015) undermined their reliability as maps. Joan Waltemath suggested these ideas were offset by humor and irreverence, expressed through Davis's use of outline as a kind of doodling gesture in works such as "Flim Flam Plan" (2015).
Reviews identified a deliberate, increasingly unstable quality of collapse or collision in the paintings in Davis's show "All Shook Up" (Pamela Salisbury, 2020). Its fifteen vertically oriented, vibrant works combined warped and decomposing grids, puzzle-like shapes, abutting planes and linear bands, placed in off-balance, syncopated rhythms and depthless space. Critics such as John Yau and Karen Wilkin suggested that their visual schemas and intentionally elusive titles ("Registered Impersonation", 2020; "Captious Computation", 2019) summoned a range of contradictory associations—natural to man-made, ephemeral and organic to technological—as well as allusions to corporate and governmental intrusion into private life. Yau wrote, "the artist’s ability to call forth the invisible world, in which we are constantly leaving traces of our presence, injects an unexpected and much-needed jolt into abstraction"; Wilkin suggested the paintings evoked "the long views inherent in mapping and the intimacy of textiles."
Awards and public collections.
Davis has received a Guggenheim Fellowship (2022) and awards from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, New York Foundation for the Arts, Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation, Bronx Museum of the Arts, National Endowment for the Arts, and Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation, among others. She was named a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 2021 and an academician of the National Academy of Design in 2017. She has been awarded artist residencies at Yaddo, Dora Maar House (Brown Foundation/Museum of Fine Arts, Houston), Siena Arts Institute (Italy), and MacDowell.
Her work belongs to the public collections of the Museum of Modern Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, J. Paul Getty Museum, Montclair Art Museum, National Museum of Women in the Arts, New York Public Library, Rose Art Museum, Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, Sheldon Museum of Art, Victoria and Albert Museum, and the U.S. Department of State, as well as to corporate, university and college collections.
Other professional activities.
Davis has written essays on art and culture for "Artforum", "Artcritical" and "The Brooklyn Rail". Her topics have included blackness, feminist imagery, the artists Robert Reed and Niccolò di Pietro, the Dana Schutz painting "Open Casket", and what she termed "Neo-Romanticism" in young artists' work. Her essay, "Towards a More Fluid Definition of Blackness" (2016), examined the art-world racial divide and constraints on the expression of black experience, including expectations that the work of black artists should embody overtly political representations of blackness.
Davis has curated exhibitions at Lesley Heller, the Hunter College Times Square Gallery (with Susan Crile), and Gerald Peters.
The latter exhibition, "Representing Rainbows" (2016), was inspired by a 2014 article she wrote regarding the increasing appearance and meaning of rainbows—both a cliché symbol and a sublime phenomenon—in student work.

Comparison of the results of operative and conservative treatment of deep dermal partial-thickness scalds in children.
Deep dermal partial-thickness scalds remain one of the most common types of injuries in childhood. Local treatment of those wounds, alternatively described as IIb degree, is still very controversial. Some authors advise conservative treatment of such wounds, pointing to their ability to self-reepithelialise, which is possible but significantly prolonged. Other investigators postulate operative treatment, i.e., tangential necrectomy and split-thickness autologous skin grafting, which may shorten the time of wound healing. Arguments call for contra-arguments, and the problem still seems to be unresolved. There is indeed a lack of acceptable standardisation of the local treatment for deep dermal partial-thickness scalds in the paediatric population. The results of both conservative and operative treatment of 114 children aged between 3 months and 17 years, treated for deep dermal partial-thickness scalds from 1997 to 2004 are presented. The treatment of five groups of patients, divided into groups based on the extent of their burn wounds, is evaluated. The patients were treated by tangential necrectomy and skin grafting, mechanical dermabrasion, Granuflex(R) (Convatec) hydrocolloid dressings, Iruxol Mono(R) (Knoll) enzymatic dressings, or Aquacel Ag(R) (Convatec) hydrofibre dressings with silver ions. A number of parameters of wound healing were analysed. The results of this paper encouraged us to present and discuss a proposition for the standardisation of local treatment of deep dermal partial-thickness burn wounds in the paediatric population, according to the extent of injury.

Enlightenment, Reform, Reaction: The Schooling Revolution in Prussia
Of the revolutionary transformations that shaped the nineteenth-century European world, no one of them touched more directly the lives of the broad masses than did the development of the schooled society. The effecting of state-directed systems of compulsory elementary education (schooling) introduced into Europe the age of mass pedagogy. In Prussia and several of the German states where schooling began early in the century, and in France and England where it came a generation or two later, it produced changes in the structure of individual life and society that were both celebrated and feared. Even where schooling was not effected—as in Russia—the debate surrounding it was clamorous and often strident. Some believed it to be the fount of greatness, whether in politics, arms, or production. Others thought it would open the floodgates of social upheaval. Where schooling came to be effected, as well as where it was not, the questions surrounding it were at the center of political and social controversy.

C Last year my summer holiday was spoiled by my bringing along a modern convenience that was too convenient for my own good: the iPad.Instead of looking at nature, I checked my e-mail.Instead of paddling a small boat, I followed my Twitter feed .Instead of reading great novels, I stuck to reading four newspapers each morning.I was behaving as if I were still in the office.My body was on vacation, but my head wasn't. So this year I made up my mind to try something different: withdrawal from the Internet.I knew it wouldn't be easy, since I'm bad at self-control.But I was determined.I started by giving the iPad to my wife. The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past, making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration .I was trapped, forced to go through with my plan.Largely breaking away from e-mail, Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites, I had few ways to connect to the world except for the radio--and how much radio can one listen to, really? I had to do what I had planned to do all along: read books. This experience has had a happy ending.With determination and the strong support of my wife, I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet, realizing finally that it was I, not the iPad, that was the problem.I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi."I don't need it," I said. However, as we return to post-vacation life, a harder test begins: Can I continue when I'm back at work? There are times when the need to know what's being said right now is great.I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely.But I hope to resist the temptation to check my e-mail every five minutes, which leads to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two. I think a vacation is supposed to help you rest your brain to become more productive.Here I hope this one worked. What do we know about the author's last summer vacation?
A. He was determined to enjoy the beautiful view.
B. His iPad ruined his plan of finishing a great novel.
C. He hated himself for acting as if he were working on vacation.
D. He felt satisfied that he had stuck to his usual timetable.

Acceptance Hierarchy of Handicaps: Validation of Kirk's Statement, “Special Education Often Begins Where Medicine Stops”
Kirk's statement, “Special education often begins where medicine stops” (1972), was validated in this research. Undergraduate students ranked the acceptability of common disabilities. Factor analysis yielded three organizing principles: the first consisted of organic impairments that are typically responsive to medical intervention; the second sensorimotor impairments; and the third psychoeducational or functional impairments that are typically not responsive to medical intervention but are treatable through special education services. The organic impairments were generally ranked more acceptable than the sensorimotor impairments. Psychoeducational or functional impairments were the least acceptable. This suggests that a belief in the greater efficacy of the medical model and the amenability to treatment of a disorder determines its acceptability.

Perhaps drawing inspiration from Spiderman, beachgoers in China' s eastern city of Qingdao have come up with a new way of protecting their skin from the sun. They call it the "face-kini". It was first sported by middle-aged women as a practical addition to their swimsuits, but now the face-kini has gone global. New York-based style magazine CR Fashion Book, founded by former Vogue Paris editor Carine Roitfeld, recently published a photo shoot of models with pouting red lips, wearing face-kinis, chic swimsuits and fancy jewellery . The transformation of what' s considered the symbol of "old woman style" in China to high fashion has amused Internet users. In two days, the subject was widely spread on the Chinese Twitter, Weibo. "Chinese old women are at the centre of the global fashion world," said one comment. "It looks like bank robbers attacking the beach," others joked. When it comes to avoiding the sun, it seems Chinese creativity is unlimited. Apart from the face-kini, the Chinese use special UV-blocking sun umbrellas which can be attached to bike handles. There are also sun- blocking removable sleeves and Batman- style capes. The list goes on. On Chinese television, commercials for magic whitening creams are everywhere. White is seen as beautiful here, or as the old Chinese saying goes: "One touch of white covers 100 kinds of ugliness." It' s a curious contrast to the fact that people in many western countries pay for tanning . Tanning salons are just now starting to take off in big Chinese cities, where western influences are deeper. Liu Yupu, or "China tanning boss" as he goes by on Weibo, took the sudden popularity of face- kinis with a pinch of salt. He said: "These days, if you had just been to a tanning salon in China. Your parents and close friends may call you an idiot, but you'll also get plenty of praise." But can a beautifully-tanned woman turn as many heads as the face-kini on the Qingdao beach? The "face-kini" has been worn in Qingdao - _ '
A. for quite a long time
B. first by beachgoers
C. to prevent swimmers drowning
D. in honor of the movie Spiderman

Why the fuck does Sharon have so much say in all this? I mean, I know she's always called the shots, but I've never understood why. And I've never heard a decent explanation as to why, either.
It's BLACK SABBATH... why do they even allow her to have such a predominant role in things?

Qi Haoran, a Junior 1 student at High School Attached to Harbin Institute of Technology, was quite busy over the past winter vacation--and not just with homework. Qi, together with 10 other classmates made a volunteer group to call on people to join the Clean Your Plate Campaign . The 11 students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food."Excuse me, do you know that 950 million people around the world still haven't got enough to eat? Could you please not waste food?"They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day. China in recent years has experienced serious problems with wasted food. CCTV reported in January that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year. It's a tradition that Chinese people offer lots of food when they invite others to dinner. Many even feel that they will lose face if their guests have eaten all their food. Luckily the campaign has got the support of many. In a restaurant in Xinjiang, the owner gives the guests who have eaten up all that they ordered a sticker. People can enjoy a free meal when they have 10 stickers. More than 750 restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer smaller dishes and encourage their guests to take leftovers home. Wasting food is a serious problem around the world, not only in China. It's said that 2 billion tons of food ends up as waste every year in our country. This is as much as half of all the food in the world. The UN Environment Program and the Food and Agriculture Organization held a"Think, Eat, Save" program on January 24 to help reduce food waste. To reduce food waste is a big task, and it needs time. It's important that everyone does their bit, just like Qi. Did you finish your meals today? From the passage , we can know that _ .
A. wasting food is a serious problem in China
B. Chinese people waste the most food in January
C. 200 million Chinese people invite others to dinner every day
D. Chinese people usually don't offer enough food to their guests

Correction of Regression Predictions Using the Secondary Learner on the Sensitivity Analysis Outputs
For a given regression model, each individual prediction may be more or less accurate. The average accuracy of the system cannot provide the error estimate for a single particular prediction, which could be used to correct the prediction to a more accurate value. We propose a method for correction of the regression predictions that is based on the sensitivity analysis approach. Using predictions, gained in sensitivity analysis procedure, we build a secondary regression predictor whose task is to predict the signed error of the prediction which was made using the original regression model. We test the proposed methodology using four regression models: locally weighted regression, linear regression, regression trees and neural networks. The results of our experiments indicate significant increase of prediction accuracy in more than 20% of experiments. The favorable results prevale especially with the regression trees and neural networks, where locally weighted regression was used as a model for predicting the prediction error. In these experiments the prediction accuracy increased in 60% of experiments with regression trees and in 50% of experiments with neural networks, while the increase of the prediction error did not occur in any experiment.

Burmese pythons are some of the biggest snakes in the world and also one of the biggest problems in Florida's wetlands. So state officials have asked hunters to lend a hand. The pythons are originally from Asia. Brought to the US as pets or zoo animals, some were released or broke free into the wild and found Florida's warm weather to be perfect for a new settlement. It is estimated that tens of thousands now live in the everglades and the state's marshy wetlands. These supersize snakes are invasive species. "The problem is with animals," says Carli Segelson, spokesperson for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. " The pythons eat native birds, reptiles, and small mammals, many of which are threatened species. " Since the python moved in, several native species, such as bobcats and rabbits, have largely disappeared from Florida's wetlands:' So the Florida government has invited hunters to assist in solving this severe environmental problem. People will be allowed to hunt pythons around their breeding grounds for one month, starting on January 12. Officials are even offering cash prizes to whoever kills the most pythons and to whoever kills the longest Burmese pythons. They are hoping the contest will significantly reduce the population of this dangerous invader. "Our goal is to help get rid of the pythons from the wild, educate the public about the snakes' impact on the Florida ecosystem, and inform them of what impacts non-native pets can have if allowed into the wild, " Segelson said. Experts say it's unlikely the snakes will ever be removed from the wild in Florida. But they hope to bring the python problem under control and prevent the snakes from doing more harm. We can infer from the text that Florida must be a place where it is
A. wet and warm

Country-dwellers often say the constant noise, heavy traffic and crowds of the city would drive them mad. Well, they might be right, according to the latest research. City residents are more likely to develop mental illnesses than those who live in villages, a study has found. Researchers from Cardiff university examined the lifestyles of more than 200,000 people in Sweden and found that those who lived in urban areas were more at risk from mental illnesses than people who lived in villages. The experts don't know exactly why this is but they suggest that town and city residents are more likely to be ostracized by those around them. They are more likely to experience discrimination if they do not fit in, which can lead to them feeling anxious and even developing mental illnesses. Dr Stanley Zammit, who led the research said that people living in towns and cities are more likely to develop other mental illnesses that result in personality changes -- a condition known as non-affective psychosis . Earlier this year an official report found that village-dwellers live an average of two years longer than those living in towns and cities. According to figures from the Office of National Statistics in the UK, men who live in villages are likely to live for between 78 and 79 years, while those in towns and cities can expect to survive to an age of 76. Women on average survive to their 81stbirthday in towns and cities, but live to between 82 and 83 in villages. The small marked town of Wimborne Minster in rural Dorset was named the healthiest place to live in. The research from Cardiff University was based on the people's _ .

Comment: Triangulation is a process that can be applied to solve problems in a number of areas of engineering including surveying, construction management, radar, sonar, lidar, etc.
Refraction is a physical phenomenon that occurs when light passes from one transparent medium (such as air) through another (for example, glass.) It is known that light travels at different speeds through different transparent media. The index of refraction of a medium is a measure of how much the speed of light is reduced as it passes through the medium. In the case of glass, the index of refraction is approximately 1.5. This means that light travels as a speed of 1 1 . 5 = 2 3 size 12{ { {1} over {1 "." 5} } = { {2} over {3} } } {} times the speed of light in a vacuum.
Two common properties of transparent materials can be attributed to the index of refraction. One is that light rays change direction as they pass from one medium through another. Secondly, light is partially reflected when it passes from one medium to another medium with a different index of refraction. We will focus on the first of these properties in this reading.
In optics, which is a field of physics, you will learn about Snell's law, which is also known as Descartes' law after the scientist, Rene Descartes . Snell’s law takes the form of an equation that states the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction for light passing from one medium to another. Stated mathematically, Snell’s law is
sin ( θ incidence ) sin ( θ refraction ) = c incidence c refraction size 12{ { {"sin" \( θ rSub { size 8{ ital "incidence"} } \) } over {"sin" \( θ rSub { size 8{ ital "refraction"} } \) } } = { {c rSub { size 8{ ital "incidence"} } } over {c rSub { size 8{ ital "refraction"} } } } } {}
It follows that
sin ( θ incidence ) sin ( θ refraction ) = I 2 I 1 size 12{ { {"sin" \( θ rSub { size 8{ ital "incidence"} } \) } over {"sin" \( θ rSub { size 8{ ital "refraction"} } \) } } = { {I rSub { size 8{2} } } over {I rSub { size 8{1} } } } } {}
where I 1 and I 2 size 12{I rSub { size 8{1} } ` ital "and"`I rSub { size 8{2} } } {} are the Index of Refraction of medium 1 and medium 2 respectively.
Consider a situation where light rays pass are shined from air through a tank of water. This situation is illustrated below.
Depiction of light refraction.
The Index of refraction for air is 1.0003 and that of water is 1.3000. Let us assume that the angle that light enters the water is 21 0 40’, what is the angle of refraction, w ?
From Snell’s law, we know
I W I A = sin ( a ) sin ( w ) size 12{ { {I rSub { size 8{W} } } over {I rSub { size 8{A} } } } = { {"sin" \( a \) } over {"sin" \( w \) } } } {}
sin ( w ) = I A I W sin ( a ) size 12{"sin" \( w \) = { {I rSub { size 8{A} } } over {I rSub { size 8{W} } } } `"sin" \( a \) } {}
Substituting in the numerical values for I A , I W and a yield
sin ( w ) = 0 . 2841 size 12{"sin" \( w \) =0 "." "2841"} {}
We now make use of the inverse sine function
w = sin 1 ( 0 . 2841 ) size 12{w="sin" rSup { size 8{ - 1} } \( 0 "." "2841" \) } {}
This leads to the result
w = 16 0 30 ' size 12{w="16" rSup { size 8{0} } `"30" rSup { size 8{'} } } {}
We conclude that the refracted ray will travel through the water at an angle of refraction of 16 0 30’ .
1. A 50 ft ladder leans against the top of a building which is 30 ft tall. Determine the angle the ladder makes with the horizontal. Also determine the distance from the base of the ladder to the building.
2. A straight trail leads from the Alpine Hotel at elevation 8,000 feet to a scenic overlook at elevation 11,100 feet. The length of the trail is 14,100 feet. What is the inclination angle β in degrees? What is the value of β in radians?
3. A ray of light moves from a media whose index of refraction is 1.200 to another whose index of refraction is 1.450. The angle of incidence of the ray as it intersects the interface of the two media is 15 0 . Sketch the geometry of the situation and determine the value of the angle of refraction.
4. One-link planar robots can be used to place pick up and place parts on work table. A one-link planar robot consists of an arm that is attached to a work table at one end. The other end is left free to rotate about the work space. If l = 5 cm, sketch the position of the robot and determine the ( x, y ) coordinates of point p ( x , y ) for the following values for θ: (50˚, 2π/3 rad, -20˚, and -5 π/4 rad).

Just A Little Information...
I want to play smart and give everyone a little info on the whole incubation process.
I will explain this picture.
1. The first day the chick/duck/quail etc egg is placed in the incubator after you have let it stay at room temp for at least 6 hours... is just yolk...or so you think. So if you candle all your eggs already and you see nothing and you throw them out, you just messed up. The fist day you will see nothing, go ahead and put them in your incubator.
2.On day 6 you will see a little "pea" almost, and it will have little "tentacles". Well what the "pea" is the embryo of what you are incubating, and the "tentacles" are is blood vessels. At this point in incubation it is very important when you turn your eggs be very very easy! The embryos can detach from the blood vessels and they will die. Now sometimes if you have dark colored eggs you will not be able to see anything yet unless you have a high power candler, I just use a flash light in a pitch dark room. And also sometimes some eggs dark or light will not show anything for a while so if you do not see anything at a week leave them there for a while longer and wait.
3. On day 12 ish about 2 weeks you will notice a little body and blood vessels. By now if you can not see a body or anything other than the yolk, get rid of them. I have had more than one blow up from being rotten, because think about it you have eggs in about 100 degree temps and they have been in that for about 2 weeks, so when they blow up it STINKS!! And if you are doing this inside your home you do not want anything like that to happen. I have had it happen under a chicken.Crazy I know!
4. At about 3 weeks you will start to notice alot of dark when you candle your eggs. That is a good thing because that means you have an almost fully developed critter!
5. And at 4 weeks for most eggs they should start hatching! And when they do, do not help them unless you just HAVE TOO, they are still connected to the egg on the inside and it has to have time to dry and give there umbilical cord time to do what it needs to.
The picture of air sacs. Air Sacs are well air sacs for the baby ... the air sacs get larger as the baby grows, the babies will use the air sacs while they are in the egg to breathe.
The blood ring is usually a dead embryo. I have had it before and they hatch and everything work out.
This picture is a better one than above!
I just thought I would show some sort or intellagence.
So if you are doing this for the first time or not and have questions please feel free to ask I will help the best I can!
(* This is in my own words and how I have learned everything throughout the years, It may not be right to everyone because everyone has there own opinion on how to do things and I am just trying to help people the best I can*)

Here is an astonishing and signficant fact:Mental work alone can't make us tired. It sounds absurd. But a few years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue . To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered thett blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day labourer, we could find it full of fatigue toxins and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxing at the end of the day. So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours f efforts as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired. Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue come from our mental and emotional attitudes. One of England's most outstanding scientists. J. A. Hadfield,says,"The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact,fatigue of purely physical origin is rare." Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further. He declares,"One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems." What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired?Joy?Satifaction?No!A feeling of being bored,anger,anxiety,tenseness,worry,a feeling of nt being appreciated---those are emotions that tire sitting workers.Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue.We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body. What surprised the scientists a few years ago?
A. Fatigue toxinscould hardly be found in a labour's blood.
B. Albert Eistein didn't feel worn out after a day's work.
C. The brain could wrk for many hours without fatigue.
D. A mental worker's blood was filled with fatigue toxins.

The poverty line is the minimum income that people need for an acceptable standard of living. People with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor. Economists study the causes of poverty in order to find solutions to the problem. As the general standard of living in the country rises, the poverty line does, too. Therefore, even with today's ly high standard of living, about 10 percent of the people in the United States are below the poverty line. However, if these people had stable jobs, they could have an acceptable standard of living. Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs. For one thing, more than half of the poor people in the United States are not qualified to work. Over 40 percent of the poor people are children. By law, children less than 16 years old cannot work in many industries. A large number of poor people are old. Many companies do not hire people over 65 years old the normal retirement age. Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons: they are sick, they do not have any motivation, they have family problems, or they do not believe that they can find a job. Other poor people look for a job but cannot find one. Many poor adults never went to high school. Therefore, when they look for jobs, they have few skills that they can offer. At the present time, the government thinks it can reduce poverty in the country in the following ways. First, if the national economy grows, businesses and industries hire more workers. Some of the poor who are qualified to look for jobs may find employment. Then they will no longer be below the poverty line. Second, if society invests in the poor, the poor will become more productive. If the government spends money on social programs, education, and training for poor people, the poor will have the skills to offer. Then it is more likely that they can find jobs. Finally, if the government distributes society's income differently, it raises some poor people above the poverty line. The government collects taxes from the non-poor and gives money to the poor. These payments to the poor are called welfare. Since 1975 over 18 million people in the United States have received welfare per year. Some economists are looking for better solutions to the poverty problem. However, at the present time, many people depend on welfare for a minimally acceptable standard of living. Most of the American poor people are not qualified for employment because _ .
A. they do not have any motivation to work
B. they are not very self-confident
C. they are too young or too old to work
D. they have physical and family problems

Dealing With Haters
Link to this article:
I love my haters. They’re my best press and the evidence that I’m doing something right. Their attempts to “put me in my place” are welcome challenges that ultimately end up confirming the legitimacy of my position.
What’s funny about that is that I’m not particularly rich or famous. I’m just me, and don’t apologize for that. Yet for some reason, the self designated sheepdogs of the herd sniff me out for saying the simplest things like it not being a good idea to abuse people for not being close enough to whatever the herd deems perfect. That’s like blasphemy against their Santa god, and they attack with religious fervor.
Like severed hands on the belt of Kali, I tend to wear their sorry excuses for insults like jewelry. They are the sacrifices of dignity voluntarily amputated and lain at my feet. Their songs over the years are as stylized as hymns.
There’s one of my old favorites: You Are So Ugly
You are so ugly
Why can’t you see?
You are so much more
Ugly than me.
This makes you worthless
Worth less than me.
You are so ugly
Ugly to me.
You must be sorry
For being unpleasant
To my tender eyes.
If you do not
Well then you’re a bitch.
You should be hanged
Or burned like a witch.
I demand you agree
With my view of your worth.
Most people do
All over the earth.
We all think you’re ugly.
Why don’t you submit?
Why don’t you enjoy
The taste of our shit?
We do so love shitting
One hole just won’t do.
We open our mouths
And can’t help but poo
That you are so ugly
And worthless to us.
We sorely resent
Your making a fuss.
Not only must you
Account for your actions
But you’re required
To bear our contractions.
We can be human
But if we are honest
What we require is
That you be a goddess.
You Angel of Ugly
Must suffer our sins.
While we reject you
You must want us in.
While we abuse you
You should smile and dance.
While we just use you
You should want romance.
When you do not give us
All that we pray
And show the same boatman
You one night will pay
We’ll punish you for
Defending your life.
Oh shit! It’s a gun.
We’ve just got a knife.
I really don’t see how people figure they should be able to spew all manner of crap at people, and those people aren’t supposed to hand it back to them. Well, yes I do. That’s what most people do: suck it up while the more aggressive, just as mortal as they are, verbally defecate on them.
It’s funny how that works. I learn a lot about humans from watching cats. I have a female calico who is not the biggest, but is the loudest. Whenever I’m distributing snacks, she always feels she has to be first. What’s even weirder is that when I put a little in one bowl, and move to the next, rather than finishing what was in the previous bowl, she jumps to the next bowl. Every bowl I fill she has to beat all the others to.
Her little plan always gets foiled when a bigger female swats her in the face. Then she moves away but is still complaining and trying to make all the others miserable because she didn’t get what she wanted for being merely aggressive and not actually better.
Something to think about.
I’m just a cat who wants to get to her bowl without some little wannabe standing in my way, growling at me because they think they’re entitled to what they didn’t earn: my respect and good will. Too many people think that the way to earn people’s respect is by being a dick because there are too many pussies.
I understand that’s not going to change, but it would be nice.

anou, let her decide. 😉
A calico owner, too. She taught me Cat. We can communicate for minutes back and forth. Until I say shuddup. She knows I am a bigger cat, and what I say, sticks.
Also inherited a bitch (dog), crazy as a loon. She is a pushover. Though 10 times calico’s size, she heeds and the calico rulez-she can haz a hamburger and if not, she can make one (in the bitch’s mind). Her mother, a gray tabby, who was smaller than all her offspring, took no shit, calico or not–she whacked them when they misbehaved, slapping them with her both front paws. Thus all of them grew up to be decent, well behaved cats. Sometimes cats are smarter than people, it seems.
Knew someone who has 3 calicos. It was an interesting interplay.

The fabrication of a broad-spectrum light-emitting diode using high-energy ion implantation
High-energy ion implantation is used to spatially modify the bandgap of a 1.5-/spl mu/m laser structure to fabricate a broad spectrum light emitting diode (LED). An increase in the emission full width half maximum (FWHM) from 28 nm to 90 nm is observed. An absorbing section at one end of the device is used to suppress lasing operation and remove Fabry-Perot noise.

Which animal has the fastest snapping jaw ? If you're guessing a shark or perhaps a larger animal, you'll have to think smaller. The trapjaw ant, which lives in Central and South America, moves its mouth parts at 35 to 63 meters per second. Another way to think about this is that the ant's jaws close at 125 to 233 kilometers per hour. That's 2, 300 times faster than the blink of an eye. Scientists were able to measure the amazing jaw speed using highspeed video techniques. Sheila Patek, a biologist, says the key is that the jaws have a springy system, which is critical in getting explosive speeds. Consider a bow and arrow. If you try to throw an arrow with your arm, it won't go very far. If you use a bow, elastic energy stored in the bow is released almost instantly when you release the arrow with your finger or a latch. The combination of the springy bow and latch mechanism is what makes the arrow zoom through the air. Maybe even more amazing than how fast these ants grab food or even enemies is how they use this same energy to move. As the ant closes its jaws, it uses them to push off the ground--all faster than the eye can see without slow motion video. A snap of the jaw can send an ant up to 8.3 centimeters into the air. That's like someone who is 1.7 meters jumping 13 meters high! Not only can they quickly escape from enemies, but often a group of ants will start jumping all at once. It would be hard for their enemies to grab just one. People have suspected the ants used their jaws to jump for over a century, but could only prove it with today's modern video equipment. Which of the following may amaze the scientists most?
A. How high the ants can leap by using their jaws.
B. How quickly the trapjaw ants can move on the ground.
C. How wonderfully the springy system in the trapjaw ants' jaws works.
D. How quickly the trapjaw ants can grab food or enemies.

There are many brands of cat food in the world, despite all good, but there is always the best of the best. Here are 5 brand cat food can we recommend for cat lovers.
1. Royal Canin
Royal Canin
Royal Canin brand cat food
This cat food has a high reputation and is recommended by many veterinarians because the brand is believed to be able to keep cats from hair loss especially Angora cat or a simple Persian cat fur loss due.
We use this brand experience for home cat manifold local cults; fur becomes more smooth and dense fur and certainly not easily falls out.
But keep in mind that Royal Canin There are several variants again, nothing special Angora, Persian and domestic cat or local, in terms of the price of course, there is no quality because the price we cannot to bear it all the time at the employer cat.
2. Pro Plan
Pro Plan
Pro Plan brand cat food
This cat food is highly recommended by the vet to fatten skinny cat really, the price is also quite expensive but no more expensive than Royal Canin.
We also advocate for the reader who has thin and hard fat cats I suggest wearing this brand because I already proved it within 2 weeks of my cats add approximately 1 kg less.
3. Friskies
Frieskies brand cat food
Well, enough cat food is nutritionally balanced, but still there is little controversy of ingredients is incorporated into this product because there are certain ingredients that may not fit in some cats.
Cats’ home never used this product but are not suitable for because stools always mushy, but look for alternatives to try this type of Salmon Hairball Management
The new fit at our cat because stools not too soft and not too hard too. Until now we still use this product because the price is economical.
4. Whiskas
Whiskas brand cat food
Many cat foods do say this one is similar to Friskies, but much pain there are cat lovers do not fit with this product, we’ve tried to also make house cat and the cat pooped result becomes watery and pungent smell.
If Whiskas is smaller than that Friskies cat who is having problems with digestion can directly ingest besides excess Whiskas is more humid than the somewhat dry Friskies.
5. Me-O
Me-O brand cat food
The brand is also equally implies similar to Whiskas and Friskies, we’ve also tried this brand but our cat food allergies indicate this because after a few days of our cats more often scratching.
Actually, there is a lot of brand new there, but we try to only five this brand. Conclusio

Wendy Gallegos writes "concer" on the board. One of her students raises her hand. "Ms. Gallegos, you should have written 'conocer' instead," she said, referring to the Spanish verb for "to know." Gallegos looks at the board, smiles and quickly erases her mistake. "You see, I have taught you so well, you pick up on my mistakes," she said with a laugh. To Gallegos, the scene in her classroom is typical of the children she teaches. Gallegos teaches high school Spanish. She became part of their lives and families for three years. She is willing to help her children succeed. After a couple of years, Gallegos' class becomes like home. Gallegos' Spanish class is taught mostly in English in sixth grade. By the time the students are eighth-graders, they are speaking fewer words of English and more of Spanish during the 50-minute classes. "My goal is to get my kids to say something in Spanish every day," she said, "I want them to be able to talk to me. That's why I help them, I praise them, I recognize them when they do good work. And we have fun. _ .'' If a student needs help, Gallegos offers the student a "lifesaver," which is help from a classmate. The lifesaver gets a piece of candy as a reward. As the students said: "Gallegos' class is anything but boring." It is because of Gallegos' efforts and determination that she is the teacher who they think is most deserving of one of Collier County's Golden Apple Awards. "I don't teach a subject, I teach kids. This is what I was born to do," Gallegos said. What made Gallegos get Golden Apple Award?
A. Her interesting class.
B. Her determination in study.
C. Rewarding her students with prizes.
D. Her efforts made to teach kids.

There once lived a young man who thought himself to be poor. One day he went to a wise man to ask how to become rich. The wise man said, "Young man, you are already rich now." "But where is my wealth?" the young man asked. "It is with you. Your eyes are your wealth. You use them to see this world. You use them to see all the beautiful things in this world. Your hands are your wealth. You can use them to work. You can use them to hug your beloved ones. Your legs are your wealth. You can go to any place..." the wise man said. "You call these wealth? But everyone has them," the young man said. "These are wealth. What you have now is not what someone else can luckily have. Would you like to give your eyes to me? I'd like to give you a lot of money to exchange for them," the wise man said. "No, I'm not going to do so! My eyes are important to me!" the young man said. Everyone is rich. We should treasure our wealth, and take care of it. We should not overuse it because once it is gone, it is gone forever. Remember it is our wealth that we do not want to lose. Why did the young man go to visit the wise man?

Supplementing filling material removal with XP-Endo Finisher R or R1-Clearsonic ultrasonic insert during retreatment of oval canals from contralateral teeth.
This study compared the efficacy of XP-Endo Finisher R and R1-Clearsonic insert in removing filling material remnants from oval canals. Twelve pairs of contralateral premolars were treated and subsequently retreated with Reciproc 50. A supplementary procedure with XP-Endo Finisher R or R1-Clearsonic was performed. Micro-computed tomography was used to quantify the filling material volume in the full canal and apical segment lengths. Intragroup analyses revealed significant reduction of filling material after both procedures, not only in the full canal but also in the apical segment (P < 0.05). The amount of filling material removed with XP-Endo Finisher R and R1-Clearsonic was 47.9% and 52.2% in the apical segment (P > 0.05), and 82.1% and 64.6% in the full canal (P < 0.05). None of the instruments was effective in completely removing the filling material from the apical canal, but better results were obtained with XP-Endo Finisher R in the total canal length.

City traffic is a great problem. More cars are produced every year and the streets are getting more and more crowded. So during "rush hours", when people are going to or from their work, traffic is brought to a standstill. It has been suggested that commuters--the people who travel to work every day from outside the city--should share their cars and give each other lifts. So each car would carry four or five people instead of only one. It is an excellent idea., however, so far nobody has been able to think of a way to make people do so. To discourage motorists from leaving their cars in the streets all day, parking meters are used. When you park at a meter, you must put a coin in the slot . This pays for a certain amount of time. The meter records this and it shows when the time that you have paid for is finished. If the car is still there then, you have to pay a fine. Traffic wardens look after the meters. They walk around the streets and check that every meter shows that money has been paid for the car parked there. If a meter shows 'TIME EXPIRED', the motorist who has left his car there is fined. Of course, the traffic warden can not wait for the owner of the car to return. He carries many printed forms, and on one of these he writes down all the details, such as the number of the car, where it is parked, how much the driver must pay and where he must send the money. He leaves this form on the car, where the driver will be able to see it easily; he usually pushes it under one of the windscreen wipers so that it will not be blown away. And in case it rains before the motorist returns, the form is put in a little plastic envelope to protect it. When the driver comes back, he gets an unpleasant surprise, but it is his own fault for leaving his car too long at parking meter. The suggestion that commuters should share their cars is_.
A. impossible to be accepted
B. difficult to be put into practice
C. liked by nobody
D. not yet necessary to be put into practice

Animals are being killed by hunters in America in a cruel way, says an animal protection organization. There are about 1,000 hunting farms across America whose owners offer hunters an opportunity to kill animals that are kept in fenced areas. Russian boar, zebra, deer, antelope and many other species are raised just to be killed. Farm owners charge hunters thousands of dollars for animals that they kill, many of which are close to extinction . The Humane Society of the United States says this type of hunting should be stopped because it is not fair to the animals. Many owners raise their animals. Others buy from animal dealers or from zoos and circuses that no longer want them. This means that the animals are not afraid of humans and they are easy to be shot by hunters. Owners of small ranches keep their animals in fenced areas so that the hunters can get close to the animals before shooting at them. On large farms hunters are taken to areas where the animals are fed sometime of the day. This also makes it easy to kill the animals. The hunters want to keep the heads and chests of the animals they kill to hang as trophies on their walls. This means that the animals are usually shot in parts of the body. That means they will suffer a slow and painful death. The hunting is allowed across most of America but some parts of the country have stopped or restricted it. The Humane Society of the United States hopes that it won't be too long before the rest parts of the country also give up this cruel sport. It can be inferred from the passage that _ .
A. no measures have been taken to prevent this kind of hunting
B. the animals usually get really hungry before dying
C. in most parts of America this kind of hunting has been stopped
D. people who do this kind of hunting are probably very rich

Quantum tunneling of a complex systems: effects of finite size and intrinsic structure
A simple model is considered to study the effects of finite size and internal structure in the tunneling of bound two-body systems through a potential barrier. It is demonstrated that these effects are able to increase the tunneling probability. Applications may include nuclear fusion,hydrogen atom and Cooper pair tunneling.
I. INTRODUCTION
The processes using the mechanism of quantum tunnelling are abundant in different areas of physics. Chemical reactions at low temperatures, diverse phenomena in solid state physics, nuclear alpha and cluster decays, fission and fusion processes in thermonuclear reactors, shortly after the Big Bang and inside stellar matter proceed through the Coulomb barrier. The conventional textbook treatment is, as a rule, limited by considering tunnelling of a point-like object. It is known that the intrinsic degrees of freedom of a system modelled by a barrier are important, and one needs to take into account the probabilistic distribution of barriers [1] in order to explain the subbarrier fusion. The friction-like processes under the barrier hinder the tunnelling [2]. At the same time, interaction of a charged particle with virtual electromagnetic field (an analog of the Lamb shift in bound states) increases the tunnelling probability [3]. In reality, in many cases one has to deal with the tunnelling of a composite object with its own intrinsic degrees of freedom.
An important question of how the tunnelling reactions are influenced by the finite size and the structure of the tunnelling object remains poorly understood. For example, the deuteron is a weekly bound complex with a size that is large on nuclear scale. How does this size influence the fusion reaction d + d → 4 He deeply under the Coulomb barrier? There are no experimental laboratory data for the fusion cross section at low (∼ keV) deuteron energies, since the cross section is too small. However, there is a discrepancy between the standard theory and the existing measurements for dd-reactions in solids at energy between 10 and 2 keV [4,5]. This is an area of extreme importance for astrophysical and thermonuclear applications, especially with the perspective of radioactive beam facilities of new generation. Currently, the nuclear cross sections for low energies are determined by extrapolation based on the results for point-like tunnelling particles.
Another example of great interest in relation to various tunnelling devices is given by electron Cooper pairs in superconductors. In "usual" superconductors, the size of the pair is so large that the electron binding is of minor significance for such processes, and the Josephson tunnelling matrix element can be taken as a product of penetrabilities for independent electrons. In high-temperature superconductors, the size of the pair is much smaller, and the binding may produce corrections. The tunneling of a bound electron pair through the potential barrier created at the "point contact" in semiconductors is also of interest because this process may be related to the mysterious 0.7(2e 2 /h) structure in the measurements of conductance quantization in one-dimensional systems [6] (note that a bound pair appears in a one-dimensional system even for an arbitrary weak attraction). One can also be interested in finite size effects for hydrogen tunnelling (a system of one heavy particle and one light particle).
To provide an analytical estimate of the finite size effect we use a simple model. A system consists of two particles bound by the oscillator potential. An additional parabolic potential of positive or negative sign acts on one of the particles. This model allows one to study the limiting cases and shows that the finite size of a tunnelling system may be very important. Similar results for a pair of particles bound in an infinite potential box, while one of the particles encounters a rectangular barrier, were found in the old paper by Zakhariev and Sokolov [7], with the conclusion that the effective barrier is modified which facilitates the penetration. We show also that the electrostatic polarizability of a composite particle adiabatically approaching the Coulomb barrier increases the tunnelling probability.
A. Normal modes
We consider two particles interacting via the harmonic potential and moving in the external field that acts on one particle only. The Hamiltonian of such a system is Here coordinates, x and y, and corresponding momenta, p x and p y , refer to a "proton" and "neutron", respectively; the potential (1/2)k(x − y) 2 describes the binding of the particles, and the potential (1/2)qx 2 acts on the "proton" only. The case of q < 0 models a Coulomb potential barrier for the "proton" in the process of the fusion of two "deuterons" into 4 He or fusion of the "deuteron" with any other nucleus. The secular equation for normal modes reads where the reduced mass µ = m x m y /(m x + m y ). The solution may be conveniently written in terms of the parameters of bare frequencies and the ratio of the masses, Then the frequencies of two normal modes are at q < 0, ω − is imaginary. The case of equal masses, m x = m y = m, is λ = 1/2, when If the x-particle ("proton") is very light, m x → 0, λ → 0, if the y-particle ("neutron") is very light, m x → 0, λ → 1, two bare frequencies are normal modes,
B. Wave function
To find the spatial structure of the normal modes, we carry out the standard diagonalization of the Hamiltonian. First we make the scale transformation to new coordinates u x,y and new momenta v x,y , Then the Hamiltonian takes the form Since the kinetic form is invariant, we diagonalize the potential form by the orthogonal transformation The transformed potential energy is where The diagonalization condition U 12 = 0 determines the mixing angle φ, From here sin(2φ) = 2ν 2 λ(1 − λ) Therefore we get, as it should be, in agreement with (4), The wave function of the system is the product of two oscillator functions,
A. Probability of tunnelling
The most interesting case corresponds to negative q and, whence, negative ω 2 − . The transmission coefficient for the parabolic barrier is given by [8] where is the semiclassical penetrability for a "one-way" traverse. Here E is the energy of the "deuteron" for motion along the coordinate ξ 2 , corresponding to the imaginary frequency; E = 0 corresponds to the top of the barrier. The tunnelling probability is exponentially small for E < 0. A realistic case corresponds to k ≫ |q|, a "deuteron" bound much stronger than Coulomb energy. In this case (for equal masses) The factor 1 + |q|/(8k) provides an exponential enhancement of the tunnelling probability for the finite size "deuteron" in comparison with a particle of a zero size (k = ∞), where For the real deuteron this effect is too small but it increases if the "charged" particle is very light, m x /m y ≪ 1,
B. Polarizability
There is another effect that may be even more important than the modification of the barrier (change of ω − ) considered in the preceding subsection and analogous to the effect of ref. [7]. This is energy transfer from internal motion of the "deuteron" to the translational motion which happens for a non-parabolic barrier. Let us consider a more realistic model, where the potential barrier is smoothly goes to zero at infinity being parabolic near the top. The change of internal motion of the "deuteron" in the ground state occurs adiabatically as a transition from the unperturbed valuehν/2 far away from the barrier tohω + /2. This energy difference is converted into energy of translational motion of the "deuteron": This correction also grows if the "charged" particle is light. For the real deuteron (or any charged system) this correction may be presented as a result of the deuteron polarization, where α is the deuteron polarizability and E the electric field produced by the Coulomb field. The internal ground state energy decreases by this amount, δE = −αE 2 /2, that is transferred into translational motion. Indeed, the electric field polarizes the deuteron (the electric dipole moment is d = αE). This creates an additional force, (d/dx)αE 2 /2. Integration of this force gives a positive correction to kinetic energy, or, to present it more conveniently, a negative correction to the Coulomb barrier potential, Again, this correction increases the barrier penetration factor. For the deuteron, the empirical value [9] is α=0.70(5) fm 3 . We can estimate the change of the Coulomb barrier penetration factor due to this potential (U = Ze 2 /r + δU). In the WKB semiclassical approximation, where v is the relative velocity, m the reduced mass for two nuclei, and r c the cut-off radius where the validity of the potential approximated by U = Ze 2 /r + δU is violated (r c ∼ r d where r d is the deuteron radius). For the fusion of two deuterons, the correction due to the polarization potential is small (∼ 1%). However, it rapidly increases with the nuclear charge.
C. "Cold fusion" and muon catalysis
In a process of muon catalysis, the fusion proceeds from a ground state of a muonic molecule, ddµ or dtµ. This process occurs due to zero-point oscillations in the ground state of the molecule, as soon as a neutron from one nucleus reaches the strong potential well of another nucleus. In the two-oscillator model with q > 0, the expectation values of the normal coordinates in the ground states are Going back to the original coordinates, eqs. (8) and (10), we find The oscillations of the "neutron" are described by y 2 . In the most interesting case k ≫ q we have In this approximation the result for the "proton" oscillations x 2 is the same. Again, the finite size of the "deuteron" leads to stretching of the zero-point oscillations by a factor (1 + q/4k) and to the enhancement of the fusion probability.
D. Tunnelling of a bound electron (Cooper) pair
The Hamiltonian of such a system may be modelled as Then the frequencies of two normal modes are At q < 0, ω − is imaginary. It does not depend on k, therefore the parabolic barrier for center-of-mass motion is not modified by the finite size of the system. However, there is the energy transfer from the internal motion to the translational motion if the potential barrier smoothly goes to zero at large distances being parabolic near the top: This energy transfer increases the tunnelling probability in the case of a smooth barrier, e.g. at the the point contact. The case of the tunnelling through the Josephson barrier is more complicated since the adiabatic approximation is not valid there. The situation might be closer to the regime of a sharp perturbation that deserves a special consideration.
IV. CONCLUSION
Our simple model helps to understand that, even in a two-particle system, the tunnelling is a complex process that can be noticeably influenced by the finite size of a tunnelling object and by its intrinsic degrees of freedom. We pointed out the necessity to study the behavior of the normal modes of a tunnelling system and its adiabatic polarizability (or deformability) by the barrier potential. The role of restructuring of complex particles in the process of a nuclear reaction was emphasized in a different context in refs. [10,11].

Family Meals
Here at CrazyFreshLife, we believe in simple and clean food. Ingredients that haven’t had a lot of work done on them. We believe that this is the way nourishment is meant to be. Clean and simple food.
Once upon a time, I fell into a serious food rut. I was drowning in short-order hell. I was spending so much time feeding everyone the way they want to be fed, that I was dying in my own creation.
We sat down to the table one evening, and I looked around the table. What I saw was the twins had plates with what they wanted to eat on it. Our oldest had a plate of his own style of food in front of him, and my husband and I were eating something completely different too. I’d made him steak and potatoes, and I was having a salad with sliced steak on it.
Here’s how dinner went. One of our twins, Brady, decided he didn’t want what was on his plate, and asked for a PB&J. At first I started to get up and go make it, and then something changed inside. Underneath the table, I dug my heels into the wood floors. “No,” I said. There was no way I was going to get up to make another dinner. It was at that moment that I decided that everyone would eat the same dinner. If they don’t like it and it’s not they’re favorite… well tough nookies. Aside from the fact that I’d spent 2 hours preparing this mixed up dinner, it was a gigantic waste of time and groceries.
The transition was HARD. To be completely transparent, there were still some nights I failed. There were still nights that we had more than one meal on the table. This is how “No Fight” Friday Night was born.
After all of these trials, we have a precious group of family meals that EVERYONE will eat and love. These are the best-of-the-best family meals. These are all Mix & Fix, which means you can pick a meat and any side(s). They are all nourishing to both your body and your soul.

Mirror mirror on the ward, who’s the most narcissistic of them all? Pathologic personality traits in health care
Background: Stereotypes in medicine have become exaggerated for the purpose of workplace amusement. Our objective was to assess the levels of “dark triad” personality traits expressed by individuals working in different health care specialties in comparison with the general population. Methods: We conducted a prospective, cross-sectional study within multiple departments of a UK secondary care teaching hospital. A total of 248 health care professionals participated, and 159 members of the general population were recruited as a comparison group. We measured 3 personality traits — narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy — through the validated self-reported personality questionnaires Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI), MACH-IV and the Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy Scale (LSRP), respectively. Results: Health care professionals scored significantly lower on narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy (mean scores 12.0, 53.0 and 44.7, respectively) than the general population (p < 0.001). Nursing professionals exhibited a significantly higher level of secondary psychopathy than medical professionals (p = 0.04, mean LSRP score 20.3). Within the cohort of medical professionals, surgeons expressed significantly higher levels of narcissism (p = 0.03, mean NPI score 15.0). Interpretation: Health care professionals expressed low levels of dark triad personality traits. The suggestion that health care professionals are avaricious and untrustworthy may be refuted, even for surgeons.
