Using Data and Information
The use of data and information on healthcare associated infections (HCAIs) is essential at every stage of the improvement process. Once converted into an appropriate form, information can be used to:
Diagnose where the problems are
Support a business case for an improvement programme
Change behaviour by presenting a case for change
Show where progress is being made
Evaluate and compare performance (league tables, benchmarking)
It is important that a cultural shift takes place in which we no longer simply view data as numbers and tables to simply provide assurance, but as intelligence with which we can arm ourselves to challenge the status quo in order to continuously improve services for patients.
Organisations need to ensure that data is used in the most appropriate ways so it becomes a valuable source of evidence and intelligence in driving improvement and providing assurance to senior management and the board. |
Pain revised - learning from anomalies.
As professional health care personnel we are well educated in anatomy, physiology, clinical medicine and so forth. Our patients present with various symptoms and signs that we use this knowledge to diagnose and treat. But sometimes the patient case contradicts our knowledge. Since the patient is the terrain and our knowledge is the map, these patient cases are anomalies that give us the opportunity to update our maps. One such anomaly is how time restricted amnesia can improve or even eradicate an underlying chronic pain condition and eliminate the patient's dependence on daily opioid consumption. In this short communication I will use amnesia as a starting point to briefly review chronic pain from a learning and memory perspective. I will introduce, for many readers, new concepts like degeneracy and criticality, and together with more familiar concepts like habits and brain network activity, we will end with overarching principles for how chronic pain treatment in general can be crafted and individualized almost independently of the chronic pain condition at hand. This introductory article is followed by a review series that elaborates on the fundamental biological principles for chronic pain, treatment options, and testing the theory with real world data. |
Nowadays the Doherty technique is a high efficiency technique widely used in power amplifiers for communications frequency bands. Typically, for a given peak-to-average power ratio, there won't be much margin in selection of transistors to achieve an optimum efficiency. The output power of a particular transistor is substantially fixed, which results in the phenomenon that an odd number of transistors are needed for power combining in some designs. Although the multi-transistor (including an odd number of transistors) Doherty power combining technique, especially the Doherty power amplifier technique realized with an odd number of transistors, was referenced in a lot of technical literature, it has been found that the production consistency of Doherty power amplifiers realized with an odd number of transistors is poor in practical application. |
Q:
how validate data that is not send by Post method?
i have a static object in controller that will be fill in some level of registration forms.finally i want to validate this object by modelstate method but is not possible because that is not send by post method..i am searching a standard way to validate..
public class AccountController : Controller
{
private MyDb db = new MyDb();
private static Trainer trainer = new Trainer();
public Trainer InfoSave(Trainer info)
{
trainer.SchoolGrade = info.SchoolGrade;
trainer.SchoolMajor = info.SchoolMajor;
trainer.MajorId = info.Major.Id;
trainer.History = info.History;
trainer.Major = info.Major;
if (ModelState.IsValid)
return true;
else
return false;
}
A:
You can use some Third party library for loosely couple the validation logic. I am using FluentValidation library. You can utilize it:
using FluentValidation;
public class TrainerValidator : AbstractValidator<Trainer> {
public TrainerValidator() {
RuleFor(c=> c.Name).NotNull().WithMessage("Name is required");
}
}
public class AccountController : Controller
{
private MyDb db = new MyDb();
private static Trainer trainer = new Trainer();
public Trainer InfoSave(Trainer info)
{
trainer.SchoolGrade = info.SchoolGrade;
trainer.SchoolMajor = info.SchoolMajor;
trainer.MajorId = info.Major.Id;
trainer.History = info.History;
trainer.Major = info.Major;
TrainerValidator validator = new TrainerValidator();
ValidationResult result = validator.Validate(trainer);
if (result.IsValid)
return true;
else
return false;
}
You can extend it based on your requirements. Here is the link for the same FluentValidation

How does the EcoAisle accommodate lighting without interfering with the ceiling panels.
Issue:
How does the EcoAisle accommodate lighting without interfering with the ceiling panels.
Product line:
EcoAisle
Environment:
Only ACRC100, ACRC301S, EcoBreeze
Cause:
Install
Resolution:
• Many datacenters are planned around the floor tiles, but planning also needs to happen for the illumination of the aisles between the rows of racks. There are times that the layout may change and cause the lighting to not be directly above the aisle. Deploying a ceiling panel containment system could block some of the lighting as well. The EcoAisle system provides an integrated light mounting system that will provide additional illumination to the aisle. This lighting system is constructed of long lasting energy efficient LED lighting that is controlled by a series of motion sensors. There is also a manual switch provided with the system that will allow a user to turn the lights off when exiting the aisle as an extra level of control and energy conservation.
High Efficiency LED kits
Installation of the light kits and wire routing is integrated into the extrusion of the ceiling panel support rails |

Q:
Whats the point of #define?
They have to be placed on the top of your .cs file. You cant create those guys dynamically at runtime and you cant give them a value or change their value because there is no value at all so whats the point of #define keyword?
Here is an example:
#define DEBUG
#define MYTEST
using System;
public class MyClass
{
static void Main()
{
#if (DEBUG && !MYTEST)
Console.WriteLine("DEBUG is defined");
#elif (!DEBUG && MYTEST)
Console.WriteLine("MYTEST is defined");
#elif (DEBUG && MYTEST)
Console.WriteLine("DEBUG and MYTEST are defined");
#else
Console.WriteLine("DEBUG and MYTEST are not defined");
#endif
}
}
Both are defined on top so why having all those ifs anyway?
Can somebody tell me scenarios where define is usefull?
Sorry if this is a duplicate just let me know in comments if so and I ll remove this question.
A:
The point is condiional compialtion.
Like:
#ifdef x64
....
#else
....
#endif
#ifdef KIOSK
fullScreen =true;
#else
fullScreen =false;
#endif
You create condition for compile time, so your binaries will not change at runtime, but
will fit exact requirements of your target ambient you are compiling for.It could be whatever you want, it's up to you decide name and semantics of what you #define.
EDIT.
Example: you have a program that acess low level windows API, and you have to support
x86 and x64 versions. In this case you may want that in binaries (so after compilation) of your program for 32bit, there is no any evidence of 64bit functions. So you may write
#ifdef x64 //conditional compilation symbol defined by YOU
DriverInfo GetDriverInfo64(..) {...} //64bit
#else
DriverInfo GetDriverInfo(..) {...} //32bit
#endif

[Some studies on the ability appreciation of dental handpieces (author's transl)].
Dental handpieces are usually used for cutting teeth instruments of dental treatments. But as ability appreciation of cutting instruments are widely influenced with cutting tools and then these studies have scarcely been reported until now. This paper shows the one method of the ability appreciation of handpieces which are used for test bur as the cutting tools. Test apparatus used for ability appreciation are manufactured for trial as the same way as the dental treatments and experiments of handpiece are carried out. Handpiece test specimens are standard type (air bearing type) made by own country as basic characteristics and then compering with the ability of the type differences, standard, miniature, supertorque and air bearing type made by foreign country are experimented. These results of tests are examined the influence of service air pressure and load speed to be bases on the relation between push load revolution of test burs. And then equivalent efficiency of the works of handpieces are discussed for the experimental results of these characteristics. |
MELBOURNE, Australia -- Five members of the Formula One paddock have now been tested for coronavirus after two more Haas employees reported potential symptoms on Thursday morning in Melbourne.
The results of two Haas team members and a McLaren team member, who were tested on Wednesday, are expected later on Thursday and could dictate whether this weekend's season-opening Australian Grand Prix goes ahead.
Speaking before the news broke of the additional Haas team members being tested, Brett Sutton, chief health officer for the sate of Victoria, told Melbourne radio station 3AW that any positive tests among the F1 community could result in the race being called off.
"I think for these three crew members, if they turn up positive, we need to consider what it means for their close contacts and if they have a number of close contacts across a number of crews, then those individuals need to be quarantined," he said. "If that effectively shuts down the race, then so be it, we'll make that call.
Haas team principal Guenther Steiner speaks to media ahead of the Australian Grand Prix weekend. Clive Mason/Getty Images
"It'll depend on those tests. If they are all negative, if everyone else who's got symptoms is negative and hasn't exposed other crew, then I say that they can carry on. But if there are positive crew and they've exposed a number of others, then all of those contacts need to be in quarantine. So it'll be a question of whether the teams have the operational staff to continue."
Haas confirmed that one engineer and three mechanics had been tested, but that it would still be able to operate if they remain in isolation.
Team principal Guenther Steiner said he was still hoping the results would come back negative, but that the team had not been made aware of a contingency plan if not.
"We should get the results in the afternoon," Steiner said. "Until then, I don't know anything, I don't want to speculate and I am not a doctor. Hopefully they come back negative and we keep on going like we want to."
Asked what would happen if the results are positive, Steiner added: "We will cross that bridge if we come to it. We are just waiting to get the result and I hope they are negative.
"Alternative plans are difficult because nobody can come here [to replace them] anymore either time wise or permit wise. So we need to come up with something and in racing you always find solutions. But first I want to know the problem before I find the solution."
The latest communication from F1 said it was taking "a scientific approach to the situation, acting on daily advice from the official health authorities and the advice or measures each host promoter may enact" while motorsport's governing body, the FIA, has set up a Crisis Cell to monitor the situation.

Williams deputy team principal, Claire Williams, said she believes any decision to cancel the race would likely come from local and federal governments rather than F1 itself.
"I think it's a situation they are managing, they're managing it in close collaboration with the relevant authorities, and at the end of the day it's up to here, I'm not an expert on this, but I believe it is up to the Australian government to make the final call, and that final call is that we are here and we're racing," she said. "As far as I'm concerned there is no case of corona in Formula One but we are playing it literally hour by hour.
"Like F1, like everyone, and every responsible business, we at Williams are monitoring it very closely. We've got a steering committee at Williams that has been in place for a couple of months now to make sure we're acting responsibly and safeguarding everyone that works at Williams and doing what we can do based on the WHO's guidance and that's all we can do at this stage."
Teams have already started taking their own precautions, including cancelling TV media sessions and introducing two-metre exclusion zones around drivers when talking to written media. This weekend's autograph sessions with drivers have also been cancelled, while drivers have been advised not to interact with fans on arrival at the circuit. |

Q:
how to remove all style except font-weight using jquery in all elements
i am using nicedit as editor in my app and the users of our website use to paste data from MS word or some other sources, hence the ui breaks up, so we have decided to remove all formatting from the html using jquery.
What i did is removed all inline style and class, but it is creating problem as it is removing bold and italics too, where as we want to retain it.
is their any simple way of removing all style except bold using jquery.
example :
<div style="color:red; font-size:13px; font-weight:bold;">test div </div>
in the above element i want it as
<div style="font-weight:bold;">test div </div>
A:
I think the only way is to store the styles you want, remove them all and then set them again.
$('.selector').each(function() {
var keepStyle, $el;
$el = $(this);
keepStyle = {
font-weight: $el.css('font-weight'),
font-style : $el.css('font-style')
};
$el.removeAttr('style')
.css(keepStyle);
})

Q:
Store in sharedPreferences
I have some things in my app that I need to store, in order to have it available the next time I open the application. I wonder if I could save them using the sharedPreferences mechanism even if I don't have any "view" associated with them ! .If this is possible please let me know, if not, what would you suggest instead ?
A:
All you need is a component that can furnish you a handle to the android.os.Context
An Activity is such a component. SharedPreference's data is stored in a file - somewhat akin to a properties file (key,value pair).
You can also create your own files and store it in the app's private directory.

A conservative surgical approach to the treatment of 'locally invasive' lentigo maligna melanoma of the face.
Lentigo maligna has the potential for malignant change, and is managed in many cases by wide local excision. However, there are clinical situations in which aggressive surgical management is inappropriate or unsuccessful. We present three such cases, in which a more conservative surgical approach was adopted and maintained over several decades. |

Antigen-specific immunotherapy against allergic rhinitis: the state of the art.
Allergic rhinitis is the most prevalent type I allergy in industrialized countries. Pollen scattering from trees or grasses often induces seasonal allergic rhinitis, which is known as pollinosis or hay fever. The causative pollen differs across different areas and times of the year. Impaired performance due to pollinosis and/or medication used for treating pollinosis is considered to be an important reason for the loss of concentration and productivity in the workplace. Antigen-specific immunotherapy is an only available curative treatment against allergic rhinitis. Subcutaneous injection of allergens with or without adjuvant has been commonly used as an immunotherapy; however, recently, sublingual administration has come to be considered a safer and convenient alternative administration route of allergens. In this review, we focus on the safety and protocol of subcutaneous and sublingual immunotherapy against seasonal allergic rhinitis. We also describe an approach to selecting allergens for the vaccine so as to avoid secondary sensitization and adverse events. The biomarkers and therapeutic mechanisms for immunotherapy are not fully understood. We discuss the therapeutic biomarkers that are correlated with the improvement of clinical symptoms brought about by immunotherapy as well as the involvement of Tr1 and regulatory T cells in the therapeutic mechanisms. Finally, we focus on the current immunotherapeutic approach to treating Japanese cedar pollinosis, the most prevalent pollinosis in Japan, including sublingual immunotherapy with standardized extract, a transgenic rice-based edible vaccine, and an immunoregulatory liposome encapsulating recombinant fusion protein. |
Krispy Kreme And Reese’s Got Together To Make History
It’s not often the universe listens and everything comes into harmony with each other. But this time it did when it brought Krispy Kreme and Reese’s together. We must have done something really good for Karma to have rewarded us like this.
Krispy Kreme came out with doughnuts that can’t be explained. They have all the greatness in the world. Just the glazed doughnut itself is a work of art that can make breakfast feel like a parade down Main Street and you are the guest of honor.
That Is The Doughnut That Will Put All Others To Shame
Then Reese’s came along. Chocolate and peanut butter? What madness is this? Some evil genius in a lab coat was exploring all the greatest tastes in the world and the mathematical equations on his white board concluded that chocolate and peanut butter are the two best things to put together.
Now, Krispy Kreme and Reese’s have gotten together and created a doughnut that will break records. It will be used at weddings. It just might take the place of the wedding cake. One thing’s for sure, the Queen of England will name it as England’s official food.
But Wouldn’t That Be Illegal?
It’s a doughnut that is going to taste like a Reese’s. You know you can’t handle that news. It’s too much greatness all in one. It has a chocolate covering that you know is rich and smooth like Beyonce’s twins. It has peanut butter on the inside. But it’s not just any peanut butter.
It’s the creamy peanut butter that is whipped like mousse and tastes like heaven. But don’t take my word for how awesome these little beasts are. Get an honest review from three different foodies who like to eat and then review food. |

Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a mystery, a puzzle with missing pieces. This complex biochemical brain disorder affects a person’s ability to determine what is reality and what is not. It is as though the brain sends perceptions along the wrong path, leading to the wrong conclusion.
People with schizophrenia are affected by delusions (fixed false beliefs that can be terrifying to the person experiencing them), hallucinations (sensory experiences, such as hearing voices talking about them when there is no one there), social withdrawal and disturbed thinking. |
Methodology of constructive technology assessment in health care.
Technologies in health care are evolving quickly, with new findings in the area of biotechnological and genetic research being published regularly. A health technology assessment (HTA) is often used to answer the question of whether the new technology should be implemented into clinical practice. International evidence confirms that the results of HTA research sometimes have limited impact on practical implementation and on coverage decisions; the study design is commonly based on the paradigm of stability of both the technology and the environment, which is often not the case. Constructive technology assessment (CTA) was first described in the 1980s. In addition to the traditional HTA elements, this approach also takes into account the technology dynamics by emphasizing sociodynamic processes. With a CTA approach, comprehensive assessment can be combined with an intentional influence in a favorable direction to improve quality. In this study, the methodological aspects mainly concerning the diagnostic use of CTA are explained. The methodology will be illustrated using the controlled introduction of a new technology, called microarray analysis, into the clinical practice of breast cancer treatment as a case study. Attention is paid to the operationalization of the phases of development and implementation and the research methods most appropriate for CTA. In addition to HTA, CTA can be used as a complementary approach, especially in technologies that are introduced in an early stage of development in a controlled way. |

Top notes of this fragrance include San Joaquin Fig and Opal Lotus Flower; middle notes are Snowdrop Flower (how great does that sound?) and Golden Acacia Blossoms; and bottom notes of Milky Sandalwood and Cotton Musk keep this subtle but incredibly beautiful!
I get lots of compliments when I wear Bella Belara, due to its light, pleasant fragrance that doesn't assault the senses. However, it is a little pricey. I can find perfumes and body sprays that I like just as well for less money. However, at least a little bit of Bella goes a long way, so a bottle lasts a while.
This has such a lovely, subtly scent. Out of all my perfumes, my husband loves this one the most. When I wear it, it makes me smile and feel pretty. Not many of my fragrances do that. I would highly recommend it to anyone! |

Q:
Best way to achieve multiple part ring in android
I'm trying to dynamically create a view that looks like this
I'm looking for something like a pie chart that shows wins, draws and loses. Also the requirement is to be able to put a drawable(or image) in the center. I tried to adjust ProgressBar and MP Android chart for those requirements.
With MPAndroidChart there seems to be an issue that the drawable I use in the center is not actually centered and you cannot set the thickness for a certain pie block(or maybe I couldn't find it).
May I ask for a suggestion, what should I use here? Maybe I can draw this programmatically using shapes? Or should I use multiple ProgressBars in a FrameLayout? Any suggestion is much appreciated!
A:
I believe overlaying multiple progressbars in a framlayout or relativeLayout should do the trick. I think finding a library that does exactly what you want might be tricky, and might include alot of "features" that you don't need that could cause trouble.
programatically drawing it using shapes is certainly possible, but i think it would be way more complicated. I guess in the end it depends on how dynamic it needs to be, and what special functionality you need. using multiple progressbars will probably be the easiest, but will not be as flexible.

Beckly Creek Park – Part Deux
A gorgeous day made my Sunday morning sabbatical in Beckly Creek Park an absolute pleasure. The wildflowers show I missed. in earlier Spring carries some regret, but I’m somewhat on time for the next chorus of color in the vast wildflower patches punctuating the park as a border to the road through.
The wildflowers come in swaths and literal pastures extending for distances in this stunningly well-prepared place.
So I decide Hell, I can take iff into this forest and wander a bit. It has a great entryway, lol.
Under the canopy everything changes – the air is cooler and fresher. Walking becomes a pleasure, looking for the next photo opportunity.
Beautiful bursts of bright sunlight are hugely contrasted as they light up the forest.
As always, at least when walking with me, if there is some creek to look at, chances are excellent I’ll do the looking. 😉 It was really brilliant this morning from this perspective of a post-holocaust flood of sorts. 😉 |

Say we have a collections of sets $\mathcal X = \{X_1, \dots, X_n\}$ (not necessarily disjoint), and we want to count the number of possible unions of sets in $\mathcal X$, i.e. the size of $\{\bigcup_{Y \in \mathcal Y} Y \,|\, \mathcal Y \subseteq \mathcal X \}$.
Is there a name for this problem?
What are the fastest algorithms to solve this problem?
A:
I found the answer here.
It is called the union closure and the complexity appears to be the same as computing the number of maximal independent sets in a bipartite graph.

A constitutional law expert is asking Congress to block the latest attempt to force the LGBT agenda on the country.
The Justice for Victims of Lynching Act passed unanimously in the U.S. Senate but Liberty Counsel founder Mat Staver says it passed without some senators realizing an amendment was added providing special rights for homosexuals and transgenders.
He calls that amendment the proverbial camel's nose under the tent.
Staver
"The old saying is once that camel gets the nose in the tent, you can't stop them from coming the rest of the way in," he explains. "And this would be the first time that you would have in federal law mentioning gender identity and sexual orientation as part of this anti-lynching bill."
No one can or should oppose a bill that bans lynching, says the Liberty Counsel attorney, and thus it's being used as back door approach to pass legislation such as the controversial Employment Non-Discrimination Act.
"So far they've been unsuccessful over the many years in the past," Staver observes, "but this is a way to slip it in under a so-called anti-lynching bill, and to then to sort of circle the wagon and then go for the juggler at some time in the future."
Staver tells OneNewsNow that Liberty Counsel is talking to lawmakers in the House in an effort to convince them to strip the bill of the amendment before taking a vote. |
Studies of the role of motivational processes in drug abuse have yet to address the relationship between the motivational processes that control alcohol-seeking behavior and those that control the pursuit of natural rewards, such as food or fluids. Although little direct evidence exists to conclude that the motivational processes that control instrumental rewards control alcohol-seeking behavior, there is evidence that incentive processes may play a role in alcohol consumption and in alcohol- related activities. The present plan of investigation has two objectives: (i) to investigate the control of alcohol-seeking activities by the animal's evaluation of the incentive properties of alcohol reward; and (ii) to investigate the effects of Pavlovian cues for ethanol on actions acquired for natural rewards and for ethanol. First, two pilot studies will be conducted in order to establish an effective, reliable method for the induction of alcohol consumption and for producing alcohol dependence in rats. To assess the role of the incentive value of ethanol in the control of instrumental actions, the effect of priming on ethanol-seeking behavior in both dependent and non- dependent rats will be investigated in a series of experiments. The next experimental series will employ Pavlovian-instrumental transfer designs in order to examine the impact of alcohol- associated Pavlovian cues on (i) actions reinforced with natural rewards, to assess the general motivating influence of these cues, and (ii) selective effects in choice tasks, to assess the alcohol-specific arousal associated with these cues. The findings of these studies are expected to elucidate the nature of bidirectional influences of primary motivational processes on alcohol-seeking behavior, and may provide a model for understanding relapse in alcohol abuse. |
Gender and vascular reactivity.
Estrogen receptors are found on vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells; their expression is influenced by exposure to the hormone. Estrogen receptors influence non-genomic events, which are rapid in onset and genomic events, which are longer acting responses. Estrogens affect vascular tone indirectly by modulating release of endothelium-derived vasoactive factors and directly by modulating intracellular calcium in vascular smooth muscle cells. Estrogens indirectly affect thrombotic events and inflammation by altering platelet aggregation and leukocyte adherence and migration, respectively. Estrogens also influence production of mitogens which, when released at sites of vascular injury, affect vascular remodeling. Although estrogens initiate vascular responses, genomic sex may influence and/or limit expression of estrogen receptors and therefore actions of sex steroid hormones throughout the vasculature. |
Many people are finding it desirable to carry food with them as they travel. This situation has long existed in connection with picnics, lunches and the like, and has engendered a plethora of designs for picnic baskets, lunch boxes and the like. However, as more and more people travel, there is a need for food containers that can be used on trips and while traveling. The just-mentioned picnic baskets and lunch boxes while satisfactory for some uses, have drawbacks which inhibit their use in conjunction with travel, expecially long transit times.
Principal among such drawbacks is the limited ability of such food containers to keep food cold during long trips. While such containers are generally insulated and can include places for ice packs or the like, such measures are of limited effectiveness, expecially if the food must be stored for several days or even weeks.
Therefore, the art has included designs for portable refrigeration units. While such units are more effective than the above-described picnic baskets or lunch boxes, these units also have several drawbacks. For example, these units often are of limited effectiveness under certain conditions. Another problem is the possibility of having a rather severe thermal gradient established within the container whereby one section of the container is quite cold while another section is considerably warmer. Proper food storage requires, not only cold conditions, but uniform temperature in the container.
Accordingly, there is a need for a food storage container which can maintain a proper environment for storing food for great lengths of time, and under varied conditions, and which provides a uniform temperature for the environment within the container. |

“The chains get twisted and we are always going around in circles with people trying to untwist them. To start with I fell over, and on my first day I almost passed out. |
I highly recommend this workshop to anyone who is on the path toward self-empowerment. Here is my own experience:
Even though I have been in the mind-body field for ten years and have done lots of inner work on my self one of my relationships was still less than perfect – the one with my father – when my friend Darryl announced his new workshop. I was curious to try out Darryl’s relationship alignment to work on the relationship with my father.
Another male participant stood in for my father as the facilitator muscle tested the seven chakras. All the issues that came up made perfect sense. We worked through each of the chakras that were out of alignment either for me, or for my father. The process was deeply emotional and left me feeling cleansed and vibrating at a high level of heart energy.
Two days later, I called my father. Before I dialed his number, I put myself back into that heart space. I was blown away by how much the energy had changed. The conversation was a completely different one than ever before in my life. It was loving, respectful, supportive and very calm. My father let me speak, instead of interrupting me; he listened and I experienced him as non-judgmental but interested. I felt pure love in my heart, was adapting to his slower pace and delivering my opinion on different topics more softly and calmly. For the first time in my life, he actually listened to my opinion without ridiculing it. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire conversation. Instead of dreading those phone calls, I now look forward to them. We speak twice a week and have long loving conversations full of laughter. He does not trigger me anymore, nor do I trigger him. I can say that the past is truly healed.
We all have people in our lives whom we struggle with. The Shadow Energetics Workshop contains many deeply-touching techniques to become whole and to heal our relationships. |
Q:
Are there terms for the Dutch 'meewind' and 'tegenwind'?
In the Netherlands we have a term for when for example you're biking on the streets and you have the wind in the back. We call that wind meewind, and we say we have meewind (translated as wind with).
We also have a term for when we have to cycle against the wind. We call that wind tegenwind (literally translated as wind against). We arrive faster at our destination via bike when we have meewind.
Does the English also have two words to describe these two versions of wind?
A:
The terms are most often heard in connection with aviation (flying), but it would not be incorrect to say that one is riding “with a tailwind” (meewind) or “into a headwind” (tegenwind).
A:
The other answer of headwind/tailwind is absolutely correct to describe the wind itself, but you could also describe directions relative to the wind as upwind and downwind. Moving in an upwind direction means moving into the wind, which itself could then be described as a headwind. Moving downwind means moving in the same direction as the wind, which can then be described as a tailwind. Other terms to describe direction with respect to the wind are windward (upwind) and leeward (downwind). One rides windward into a headwind, and leeward with a tailwind.

Behavioral dentistry: a renewed paradigm for the future.
The clinical field of behavioral medicine has become firmly entrenched as an indispensable part of modern health care. From a biopsychosocial perspective, susceptibility to disease invokes a powerful mix of complex factors beyond biology. Behavioral pathogens can be identified which cause us to get sick, stay sick, and resist sound treatment. Biopsychosocially based scientific inquiry can contribute to a more enriched understanding of fear of dental procedures, management of pain, prevention of oral malignancy, and changing patterns in availability of dental care. Dentistry will need to take new directions in research to understand behavioral and psychosocial factors as well as biologic factors that promote and contribute to health and disease. |

Q:
SELECT result with table names for columns
A quick question:
Is it possible to get a MySQL result, with the tablename in front of the column instead of only the column name, when using *?
instead of:
column1, column2, etc
i would need:
table_name.column1, table_name.column2, etc
My problem is, that I join multiple tables togheter, that have columns with the same name (for example, key) but the result of the SELECT will only show one. And typing down every single column, in every joined table, would be a lot more work than simply using * and later get the result with Tablenames.
Is there any solution to this?
Thanks for the help.
A:
I found another solution that actually works as expected!
Apparently, it is possible - at least, with PHP:
$PDO->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_FETCH_TABLE_NAMES, true);
With this, I get the results back with fully-qualified Column names.
I'm really wondering how this looks in SQL, but at least it solves the issue.
Coulndt find it before, thanks to @RobinCastlin for the further link (that brought me to the solution) - and to the rest, for the help!

Q:
Python Switching Active Cameras
Here is the objective I wish to achieve: I would like to connect multiple web cameras to a single Windows machine and take snapshots from one of them at different instances (so one camera must active at one point of time, while another must be active at another). From what I have tried, an user has to go to the control panel and set which camera should be active at a given moment to use it. Is there a way to achieve this objective via python? (If there is a way to keep all cameras active at once, how should I specify which camera should take a snapshot?
A:
I have investigated a couple options since then. One of the tools that I could utilize is devcon, through which usb cameras could be disabled/enabled to take snapshots. Another (simpler) option is to use a function in python opencv - cv2.VideoCapture(i) will automatically allow the program to iterate through different camera devices connected to the computer via usb.

In a magnetic recording apparatus of a hard disk device, information recorded in a magnetic media (hard disk) is read by a magnetoresistance type magnetic head.
The recent years, recording density of information in the magnetic media has increased and a recording bit has become small. For this reason, in order to read the information recorded by the small recording bit, it has been necessarily develop a magnetic head using a magnetic sensor (signal reproducing part) having a minimum possible thickness. |

The Role of Coalitions in Disaster Policymaking.
Disasters have the potential to act as focusing events, which can increase attention to disaster-related problems and encourage policy action. Our understanding of the political characteristics associated with disaster policy making is under-developed, but we know that these characteristics may be dissimilar from non-disaster policy areas, especially concerning the coalitions of policy actors in the disaster policy process. Coalitions in disaster policy processes may be less likely to form, may look very different, and may have different goals than in non-disaster domains. Our understanding of the emergence, composition, and purpose of coalitions in disaster policy is lacking. Here we draw from prior theory and case observations to define and describe the characteristics of a disaster policy subsystem and build a typology of coalitions that may appear within such a subsystem, providing a foundation upon which scholars can work to study coalition dynamics in disaster policy subsystems.

Excited state electric dipole moment of nile blue and brilliant cresyl blue: a comparative study.
A solvatochromic study on the photophysical properties of two cationic oxazine dyes (brilliant cresyl blue and nile blue) was carried out. The electronic absorption and emission spectra of the dyes were recorded in various organic solvents with different polarity. The ground and the excited state dipole moments of the dyes were estimated from solvatochromic shift method. The solvent dependent spectral shifts in absorption and fluorescence spectra were analyzed by the Katritzky and Kamlet-Taft multi-parameter scales. This work is characterized by detailed quantitative studies on the nature and extent of solvent-solute interactions. |
Q:
angularjs service updating based on xhr
I am having trouble using a service to authenticate against an external API, and register the updated service data in the same form submit. I'm fairly certain it's a scope issue, but I'm pretty new to angular, and unsure how to scope things properly in the controller.
I have the following auth service defined:
angular.module('myapp.services', []).
factory('AuthService', ['$http', function($http){
var currentUser;
var isLoggedIn = false;
return {
login: function(user, pass) {
$http({method: 'GET', url:'https://some-api/api/login/'+user+'/'+pass}).
success(function(data){
currentUser = data;
isLoggedIn = true;
});
},
isLoggedIn: function(){ return isLoggedIn; },
currentUser: function(){ return currentUser; }
};
}]);
I then have a basic form in a view bound to "user", and then in my controller:
angular.module('myapp.controllers', [])
.controller('LoginCtrl', ['$scope', 'AuthService', function(scope, AuthService) {
scope.update = function(user){
AuthService.login(user.username, user.password);
console.log(AuthService.currentUser());
};
}]);
On the first submit, I get "undefined" in console, on the 2nd submit, I then see the expected data in console... I've been reading about returning a promise and whatnot, just a little unclear on the precise implementation given the structure of my code...
A:
Looks like you are trying to log the user before the xhr request has completed. Try this:
angular.module('myapp.services', []).
factory('AuthService', ['$q', '$http', function($q, $http){
var currentUser;
var isLoggedIn = false;
return {
login: function(user, pass) {
var deferred = $q.defer();
$http({method: 'GET', url:'https://some-api/api/login/'+user+'/'+pass}).
success(function(data){
currentUser = data;
isLoggedIn = true;
deferred.resolve();
});
return deferred.promise;
},
isLoggedIn: function(){ return isLoggedIn; },
currentUser: function(){ return currentUser; }
};
}]);
and then
angular.module('myapp.controllers', [])
.controller('LoginCtrl', ['$scope', 'AuthService', function(scope, AuthService) {
scope.update = function(user){
AuthService.login(user.username, user.password).then(function() {
console.log(AuthService.currentUser());
});
};
}]);

Antimicrobial photosensitive reactions.
Photosensitivity reactions are recognized as unwanted adverse effects of an array of commonly administered topical or systemic medications, including nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents, antifungals, and antimicrobials. When a drug induces photosensitivity, exogenous molecules in the skin absorb normally harmless doses of visible and UV light, leading to an acute inflammatory response. In phototoxic reactions, the damage to tissues is direct; in photoallergic reactions, it is immunologically mediated. In vitro and in vivo assay systems can assist in predicting or confirming drug photosensitivity. The incidence of photosensitivity reactions may be too low to be detected in clinical studies and may become recognized only in the postmarketing stage of drug development. Some drugs have been withdrawn because of photosensitivity effects that appeared after general release. Photosensitivity reactions have been studied for a number of topical antimicrobials and for the sulfonamides, griseofulvin, the tetracyclines, and the quinolones. Incidence and intensity of drug phototoxicity can vary widely among the different compounds of a given class of antimicrobials. When phototoxic effects are relatively low in incidence, mild, reversible, and clinically manageable, the benefits of an antimicrobial drug may well outweigh the potential for adverse photosensitivity effects. |
Q:
Dividing an equation by a vector
I am given the two equations
$$\bar{x} \times \bar{b} = \bar{a}$$
$$\bar{a} + \bar{x} = \lambda\bar{c}$$
I multiple the second by $\bar{b}$:
$$\bar{a} \times \bar{b} + \bar{x} \times \bar{b} = \lambda\bar{c} \times \bar{b}$$
and substitute the first one:
$$\bar{a} \times \bar{b} + \bar{a} = \lambda\bar{c} \times \bar{b}$$
divide to get $\lambda$ by itself:
$$\frac{\bar{a} \times \bar{b} + \bar{a}}{\bar{c} \times \bar{b}} = \lambda$$
and substitute back into the second equation and subtract $\bar{a}$:
$$\bar{x} = (\frac{\bar{a} \times \bar{b} + \bar{a}}{\bar{c} \times \bar{b}})\bar{c} - \bar{a}$$
However I'm told the answer is:
$$\bar{x} = (\frac{|\bar{a} \times \bar{b} + \bar{a}|}{|\bar{c} \times \bar{b}|})\bar{c} - \bar{a}$$
Where did the modulus come from? I'm guessing it's something to do with dividing by vectors?
A:
You see that
$$a\times b+a=\lambda c\times b$$
implies two vectors are collinear. Hence you can write
$$\lambda=\pm\frac{|a\times b+a|}{|c\times b|}$$

Computer viruses are a common problem for computer users. One typical mode of attack is to send an electronic mail message (e-mail) containing a file attachment to an unsuspecting user's computer. The file attachment contains malicious attack code, and the e-mail may contain some inducement for the user to launch the file attachment. When the user clicks on the file attachment, the attack code embedded in the file is executed. The attack code accesses an address book and sends the file attachment in an e-mail to addresses found in the address book. The attack code may then try to modify files on the user's computer or obtain other files and mail them back to the attackers.
Propagation of such an attack is rapid. Once one unsuspecting user launches the file attachment, the virus quickly spreads to other unsuspecting users, who then perpetuate the problem. Such viruses have been known to overwhelm computer networks and cause millions of dollars of damage to network operators, companies, and users.
Techniques exist to purge viruses from affected computers. Such techniques, however, are often are used only after the virus has been detected and many computers have been infected. New methods are desired that will slow down the propagation of computer viruses and other malicious code, thus allowing the virus detectors to detect and delete the viruses before the damage becomes widespread.
Along with improving the ability to detect and slow such attacks, it is also desirable to prevent or limit damage to users' systems and access to users' data. The ideal world in which users would never run suspicious files will never exist, so a practical solution must recognize this and attempt to prevent or limit these programs from damaging the user's system and accessing the user's data. |
Q:
Call function created in view using javascript in the same view
I have created a view which contains both Javascript and functions as shown:
@functions
{
public int DaysInMonth(string Month)
{
//code to get the no of days in month;
}
}
I have drop down list that contains month..
Now I want to write code on dropdownlist's change event using jQuery which will call the above function.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$('#Months').live('change', function () {
//code to call the above function
});
});
</script>
Here ('#Months') is the id of the dropdownlist..
Note: Both the above code snippets are in the same view (Index).
How can i link the above two code snippets??
Thank you..

For those who follow me on social media know that I recently accepted a new job at my dream company and will be relocating to my dream city, NYC. However, you didn't know that before these dreams were manifested, I was rejected not once but twice from my dream company. My faith in God was constantly tested. I almost gave up on everything. Oh, and I went to bed numerous times feeling confused, disappointed, and frustrated. I've been working in my career field for more than a year and a half. I didn't know that climbing up the totem pole would be a rigorous journey. Society makes it seem like once your foot is finally in the door (aka once you finally get a job), you can smoothly sail to the top. That's a lie. Truth is, the struggle never ends even after you get a job. In this post, I want to be very transparent about my rocky journey and how I still became victorious after experiencing rejection from my dreams. This is my story. I remember it like it was yesterday when they flew me out for my first interview. Everything felt so right. The people, the culture, the city--I knew in my heart this company was for me. In fact, in my personal journal I declared that this year I would gain employment with this specific company, relocate to NYC, and triple my compensation. |
As processors evolve, there is a need for memories which can accommodate the increasingly high performance requirements of the processors. Some common types of memories include a hard disk drive (HDD), a dynamic random access memory (DRAM), a static random access memory (SRAM), and a Flash memory. HDDs and flash memories are non-volatile (i.e., retain data when the power is removed), whereas DRAM and SRAM are volatile (i.e., do not retain data when the power is removed). A HDD is a magnetic memory with rotating media, whereas DRAM, SRAM, and FLASH are semiconductor memories. The other salient features of these memory types are following: (a) HDD is a very cost effective memory, but HDD suffer from very long access latencies (e.g. of the order of milliseconds). (b) DRAM has a good read and write performance. While DRAM does require a periodic refresh to retain data, the performance impact due to a refresh can be minimized in an optimized system design. (c) SRAM is more expensive than DRAM, and is used when a very fast access performance is required. (d) FLASH memory started with a NOR-FLASH architecture but has now evolved to a NAND-FLASH as the popular architecture. NAND-FLASH with MLC (multi level cell i.e. multiple bits/cell) provides an effective cell size about four times smaller than DRAM, and thus a significant cost advantage over DRAM. The FLASH can match DRAM in a read performance, while the FLASH write performance is slower than a DRAM.
System designers continue to explore ways to combine two or more memory types to meet the cost and performance requirements. However, existing memory solutions have not been able to meet the performance requirements of high bandwidth processors. |
Q:
mvn release:perform distributionManagement url
I have this configuration in my pom.xml:
<distributionManagement>
<downloadUrl>http://mydomain/downloads/<downloadUrl>
<repository>
<id>Id</id>
<name>Name</name>
<url>scp://ipaddress/downloads/</url>
</repository>
</distributionManagement>
When I do mvn release:perform and navigate to http://mydomain/downloads/, there is a directory hierarchy com/my/application that is my app groupId and, inside that, I have the .apk file (is an Android app).
Is there any way to deploy the apk in http://mydomain/downloads/ instead of http://mydomain/downloads/com/my/application ? I mean, ignore the groupId.
Thanks!
A:
You can't ignore the groupId cause this is the foundation on which a maven repository is based.
If you like to do it in an other way than you shouldn't use deployment of Maven. The solution can be to use a particular plugin like wagon-maven-plugin

Susceptibility of trout kidney macrophages to viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus.
Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) lysed the macrophages from rainbow trout kidney cultures either isolated by plastic adherence or stimulated with purified glycoprotein G from VHSV. The trout macrophages supported the replication of VHSV as tested by cell culture and by sandwich ELISA of the supernatants from infected cultures. VHSV-infected macrophages showed a decrease in both acridine-orange fluorescence and average size. Immunofluorescence studies with flow cytometry showed positive membrane staining with monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) anti-N and anti-G VHSV. These findings open the possibility of using trout macrophages as presenting cells to study the possible existence of helper or cytotoxic epitopes relevant to the protection of trout against VHSV. |

Inherited renal diseases.
Genetic disorders of the kidney include cystic diseases, metabolic diseases and immune glomerulonephritis. Cystic diseases include autosomal dominant and recessive polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD, ARPKD, respectively). Neonates with enlarged, cystic kidneys should be evaluated for PKD. Patients with ADPKD have cysts and renal enlargement. Most patients present with hypertension, hematuria or flank pain; the most common extrarenal manifestation is polycystic liver disease. Oligohydramnios, bilaterally enlarged kidneys and decreased urine are featured in utero in ARPKD. Medullary sponge kidney is uncommon and features nephrocalcinosis, recurrent calcium stones and a history of polyuria/nocturia and/or urinary tract infections. Alport syndrome (AS) is an inherited disease of the glomerular basement membrane that is usually inherited as an X-linked dominant trait. Most patients with AS present in the first two decades of life with persistent microscopic or gross hematuria. Later, proteinuria is seen and its presence portends disease progression. Other findings may include sensorineural hearing loss and ocular abnormalities. There are various inherited tubulopathies, including Bartter syndrome, a group of renal tubular disorders that consist of two phenotypes with four genotypes. Patients usually present early in life with salt wasting, hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis. Other features, depending on genotype, may include polyhydramnios and premature birth. Gitelman syndrome is also a salt-losing tubulopathy characterized by hypokalemic alkalosis. The majority of patients with Gitelman syndrome present during adolescence or early adulthood. |
(a) Field of the Invention
A conductive ink composition, a method for manufacturing the same, and a method for manufacturing a conductive thin film using the same are provided.
(b) Description of the Related Art
In the existing semiconductor process, a circuit board is a board wherein a circuit pattern for electrically connecting a circuit device is formed on an insulation substrate formed of bakelite or synthetic resin, and the manufacturing method is largely divided into a subtractive method and an additive method.
The subtractive method is a method of removing parts excluding a required circuit pattern by etching and the like after wholly forming a conductive thin film on a substrate, and the additive method is a method of directly forming a circuit pattern on a substrate by plating or printing.
At present, most circuit boards are manufactured by etching, which is a representative subtractive method. According to the etching, a copper foil is laminated on an insulation substrate to form a laminate, an acid resistant material (resist) is coated only on a part corresponding to a circuit pattern on the surface of the laminate, and then parts other than the circuit pattern are dissolved to remove them, thereby forming a circuit pattern.
However, when a circuit board is manufactured by etching, since a complicated processes including formation of a laminate, resist coating, resist etching and washing, and the like should be conducted, a lot of time is consumed for the manufacturing process and production cost may increase.
Further, a discharged solution generated during the manufacturing process causes environmental problems, and to prevent this, treatment such as neutralization and the like is essentially involved, which also causes a cost increase.
The additive method is an alternative for solving the drawbacks of the circuit board manufacturing process by etching, and is a method of directly printing conductive ink on a substrate by printing such as inket printing to embody a circuit pattern, thus easily and inexpensively manufacturing a circuit board.
Since the additive method may print with a desired thickness at desired position, simplify the manufacturing process, reduce production cost, and does not cause environmental problems, the application range is being broadened.
In the additive method, ink sintering may be largely divided into heat sintering and laser sintering.
However, since commercially available heat sintering and laser sintering methods require high energy and a long sintering time, problems such as cost increase are raised.
Accordingly, the inventors studied a conductive ink composition suitable for an additive method (e.g., inket printing method), a manufacturing method of the same, and a method for effectively sintering a pattern formed using the ink. |
Physical activity and prostanoids.
Physical activity plays an important role in the prevention of ischaemic heart disease. However, data on the mediating mechanisms are only partly established, and concentrated mainly on plasma lipoproteins. Prostanoids, especially prostacyclin and thromboxane, through their effects on vascular endothelium, platelet function, and interaction with lipoproteins, are postulated to be centrally involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The reported acute effects of physical activity on prostanoids and platelet function are contradictory and may be considered both beneficial and unfavourable. On the other hand, although even less is reported on the response to regular exercise, data appear more favourable in relation to atherosclerosis. Currently, data on physical activity and prostanoids, including both acute and chronic effects, are limited and necessitate additional, systematic studies on dose-response relationships. |

In the age of the Internet, each day enormous amount of data are generated and processed. Among those data, some are personal sensitive or commercially sensitive data. For example, a hospital may generate and maintain data relating to patience's personal and medical information. Thus, it is important to protect the sensitive information while being able to properly utilizing those data for legitimate purposes. However, with the advance of computer technologies, it becomes more and more difficult to protect the personal and commercially sensitive information from reverse engineering. |
This tutorial is for everyone who asked me how I did my hair in this photohttp://fav.me/d2gqgrx , and to those who didn’t believe me when I told them that I don’t even try to make it neat or bother to use a comb for this hairstyle. Lazy bun is called lazy for a reason. This is also how some Koreans do their loose hair buns, I think. Also, you don’t have to have curly hair at the beginning. It just so happened that I was in the mood to do a tutorial after coming home from a photoshoot. Filmed at 11pm. Uploading at 2am. *snore*
Disclaimer: I have NO affiliation with any of the brands shown. I am NOT advertising these products shown in this video. Everything shown was purchased by me. These are my own opinions, i am NOT getting payed for this video.
A very first hair tutorial video! 🙂
My current hairstyle is in medium length & it’s naturally curly.
For this type of look, it is up to personal choice whether you want to curl it or leave it straight, because it works both ways. Curly/straight-Long/Medium length hair
Curl your hair before style, Small/Big curls works fine!
Remember to use hairspray for long lasting hairstyle and to secure your hair in shape!
I have pretty thin hair, so a few bobby-pins are enough to hold my hair =P
But for people with thick hair, try to use more pins to avoid hair from falling.
Hairstyles great for outing, partying, special occasions and etc.
Have fun & Good luck! 🙂 |
My second LDD mech.
The "Factotum" is a compound frame mech. It is very popular because engineers have designed it to carry different kind of armour, depending on the threat to face. The standard armor is the type "Eviscerator", a red spiked armour with three deadly blades attached to each wrist: this idea came after seeing the "Digimon" episode when Wargreymon appears for the first time!

Video-assisted minimally invasive mitral valve surgery: transitioning from sternotomy to mini-thoracotomy.
Minimally invasive right thoracotomy approaches to complex mitral valve surgery have emerged as safe and effective alternatives to traditional median sternotomy. Early experiences were associated with concerns over repair failures, neurological events and longer cardiopulmonary bypass times. However, several technique refinements over the last decade have led to a resurgence of minimally invasive thoracotomy/thoracoscopic mitral surgery with improved short-term outcomes and equivalent long-term durability to sternotomy. We describe one such approach that utilizes video assistance along with direct vision to facilitate reproducible mitral surgery. |
I love jewelry. And to make my addiction even less manageable, I like the fine stuff. Every few years I set my sights on a special piece… right now the object of my desire is a rainbow moonstone necklace designed by Irene Neuwirth that looks something like this.
(I know this is a sickness because I actually hesitated before typing out the designer’s name in fear that somebody else would purchase it from underneath me.) I need professional help!
But what do you do when you just cant justify afford such luxuries? Well, designers Mike and Maaike have come up with an interesting solution. They googled the world’s most precious and valuable jewelry, took the low resolution images and then transferred them on leather for truly unique pieces of costume jewelry.
In case you are curious, here are the high res images they are stolen from…
So, would these satisfy my jewelry desires? No way! But maybe they would satisfy yours… and let’s face it, I’m here for you!

The tropical cedar tree (Cedrela fissilis Vell., Meliaceae) homolog of the Arabidopsis LEAFY gene is expressed in reproductive tissues and can complement Arabidopsis leafy mutants.
A homolog of FLORICAULA/LEAFY, CfLFY (for Cedrela fissilis LFY), was isolated from tropical cedar. The main stages of the reproductive development in C. fissilis were documented by scanning electron microscopy and the expression patterns of CfLFY were studied during the differentiation of the floral meristems. Furthermore, the biological role of the CfLFY gene was assessed using transgenic Arabidopsis plants. CfLFY showed a high degree of similarity to other plant homologs of FLO/LFY. Southern analysis showed that CfLFY is a single-copy gene in the tropical cedar genome. Northern blot analysis and in situ hybridization results showed that CfLFY was expressed in the reproductive buds during the transition from vegetative to reproductive growth, as well as in floral meristems and floral organs but was excluded from the vegetative apex and leaves. Transgenic Arabidopsis lfy26 mutant lines expressing the CfLFY coding region, under the control of the LFY promoter, showed restored wild-type phenotype. Taken together, our results suggest that CfLFY is a FLO/LFY homolog probably involved in the control of tropical cedar reproductive development. |
A bioassay using Artemia salina for detecting phototoxicity of plant coumarins.
Artemia salina (brine shrimp) has been successfully used for toxicity testing, and a screening test for phototoxicity has been developed based on this method. The ability of the method to test the phototoxic potential of seven known compounds was investigated. Athamantin (an angular furanocoumarin) and umbelliferone (a simple coumarin) showed no phototoxicity, while linear furanocoumarins exhibited phototoxic activity in the following order: psoralen > bergapten > peucedanin > xanthotoxin. The applicability of this method was also tested in screening the phototoxicity of plant material. Six plants from Apiaceae [Aegopodium podagraria L., Anethum graveolens L., Angelica archangelica L., Levisticum officinalis Koch, Petroselinum crispum (P. Mill) A. W. Hill., and Peucedanum palustre (L.) Moench] and one from Rutaceae (Ruta graveolens L.) were selected, all of them known to contain furanocoumarins. Extracts from leaves collected at different times during the growth period were used in the screening. Our results were in accordance with the furanocoumarin content of these plants and with the results of other phototoxicity tests. The Artemia salina method proved to be rapid, simple and inexpensive, and is therefore ideal in the initial biological screening of large numbers of samples for simultaneous detection of both toxicity and phototoxicity. |

Barriers to insulin initiation and intensification and how to overcome them.
To review published evidence and clinical experience of the perceived barriers to insulin initiation and intensification and to develop solutions for patient management. Literature review and workshop discussions. Many patients with diabetes fail to achieve targets for glycaemic control because of inappropriate use of insulin. Patients and health care professionals face many potential barriers to insulin initiation and intensification in primary care. These can be categorised as low motivation, lack of familiarity or experience and time constraints. Solutions should be tailored to different health care settings. Strategies include improving education and training, providing prescribing aids and increasing the efficiency of collaborative working and communications. |
The midfielder tells us about his close friendship with one of our defenders and why a certain World Cup-winner would make a good goalkeeper, as well as answering a question posed by Victor Moses, who was the last player to take part in this feature.
Who has been the best player in training recently?
Jorginho trains well all the time, he’s a very good player.
Of the outfield players, who would make the best keeper?
Maybe Olivier. He’s tall and he can jump. I initially thought Toni Rudiger, he would be good too, but let’s go with Giroud.
Of the defenders, who would make the best striker?
I think Emerson. He’s very agile and has a lot of technical quality, so I think he would be good up front because he would be able to run in behind.

The field of the disclosure relates generally to gas turbine engines and, more particularly, to oil cooling systems for a gas turbine engine.
Gas turbine engines, such as turbofans, generally include an oil system that distributes engine oil used to cool and lubricate components within the gas turbine engine. As turbofan engines become larger, faster, and more powerful, more heat within the engine oil needs to be dissipated, thus increasing cooling requirements of an oil cooling system that facilitates extracting heat from the engine oil.
At least some known oil cooling systems include heat exchangers that are positioned within a bypass duct that draws a fan stream air therethrough for turbofan propulsion. Oil is channeled through the heat exchangers where the fan stream air is used as a coolant and heat is transferred from the oil to the fan stream air. However, some heat exchangers are known to create drag within the fan stream air which decreases turbofan engine efficiency. Moreover, during turbofan engine low speed conditions, such as ground operating conditions, the fan stream air drawn through the bypass duct is low or not-present, decreasing the effectiveness of the heat exchangers. Furthermore, dedicated oil cooling systems for engine low speed conditions increase the weight of the turbofan engine, which also decreases overall efficiency. |
I have lived in Pueblo for roughly eight and a half years. It’s a great place filled with great people, and I love it here. In spite of that, there’s been a hole here, something that’s always been missing. Something just a smidge off, like that kitchen counter I installed that the pencils always roll off of. It needed something. It needed homebrew store. I don’t say needed as some sense of hyperbole, when you have spent ten hours making beer and your yeast stalls out; you need a new pack of yeast. That generally means a trip up to Colorado Springs, or worse going on the internet and hoping your hops & yeast survive the August heat.
I am so happy to that era homebrew isolation is at a close. Troy Rahner and his wife, Alicia, opened the doors on this weekend of their homebrew shop Rahner Shine Homebrew Supply.
Our Club was lucky enough to check out the shop early, and it looks like we should be able to hold our monthly meetings there going forward. I am so happy to have a partnership with Troy’s new shop.
Education is at the core of what our club does. Troy gave a talk on chilling wort in the summer months and what sorts of advantages can be gained using a pre-chiller with your immersion chiller .
Very excited with how the shop looks. Much more excited to have a partnership with someone that has such a strong passion for brewing and homebrew, like Troy, here in town.
Congratulations!

Hmmm, I Wonder What This Could Lead To? Patent Granted For “Living Chip” Technology
Rochester, N.Y. – Last week, the University of Rochester was given a patent for a one-of-a-kind implantable diagnostic “living chip.”
Researchers at U of R say the technology has the potential to save lives and improve the quality of life for those who suffer from chronic illnesses.
The device contains sensors that can be implanted in the skin or in blood vessels and it reads the blood cells.
“For example in heart failure, the blood level of this hormone that says that you’re probably starting to get sick in the next few days and sends a little warning out to the patient,” says Dr. Spencer Rosero, an associate professor of medicine.
He says patients benefit by having an advanced warning signal or system because cells detect the changes a few days before the patient actually gets sick. The sensor then transmits the information wirelessly to another device the patient can read, or even to a smart phone.
“The key part is to empower the patient, to see the data themselves,” says Rosero. “Then they can say, ‘Wow. Whenever I see these numbers and whenever I get these data numbers I know I feel worse in three days. But if I make this adjustment to the medicine that always helps.’”
Rosero says he knows some patients will be uncomfortable with the idea and he says he understands.
“It’s really meant for caring for the patient,” he says. “The cells themselves won’t have any type of personal data, up to a point, but they won’t transfer that info. It’s a status check on the physiology and how the body it working itself.”
Rosero says it took seven years to get the patent. He says development of the chip will move forward more quickly now that he and his team have the patent. |
Sir Alex Ferguson has claimed he wants Nani to stay at Manchester United, after describing him as one of the 'best match-winners in Europe'.
Nani has struggled to emerge from the shadow that Cristiano Ronaldo cast over Old Trafford, but he is rated highly by Ferguson due to his undoubted talent. The Portuguese winger has struggled for consistency, which his manager is aware of, but the Red Devils boss would be loath to let him leave.
"We are prepared to keep him, no doubt about that," Ferguson said. "He is one of the best match-winners in the game and I am including the whole of Europe in that. He is capable of scoring the most incredible goals.
