Student life
We have a great social scene here. There's loads going on in Shtip. We can proudly call Shtip a students city. It offers rich and attractive life for students, well-suited to different tastes and cultural needs of young people.
Apart from the rich nightlife that takes place in a wide selection of coffee bars, discos, small concert events, walks in nature, there are student parties as well, that are organized once or twice a week at different locations.
What is more, there are various cultural activities organized by the University Cultural Centre, which include: film and theater experiences, concerts of students and professors from the Faculty of Music, literature and art workshops and other similar cultural activities.
On annual level, Shtip is well known for several established festivals, famous both in Macedonia and the region. In June, Stip lives in the spirit of the pop music festival Makfest, that exists for 32 years, then the festival dedicated to jazz music called Astibo Jazz Festival held during the spring months, and DNB festival RUN which is held in several editions during the autumn and is genuinely refreshing, especially for the students of Goce Delchev University.
Furthermore, students and young fans of the hip-hop music can enjoy the unique hip-hop experience during the summer months called Shtip Hop Festival.
Finally, all these events make the lives of the students more exciting year by year.

RoHS effect on PCB's
What effect on pcbs and other components has RoHS?
Lead-free soldering effects circuit boards and components through exposure to higher soldering temperatures which renders certain materials unsuitable.
Typical temperature increase is 20C, or 250C to 270C.
PCB construction as number of layers, blind and buried vias, overall thickness, copper thicknesses and number of passes through soldering processes are parameters that must be considered when materials are selected.
Tg (glass transition temperature) is the main parameter for the pcb. Tg is a measure of when the EPOXY in the pcb softens (it has nothing to do with the glass fibre in the pcb).
Tg 130-140 was standard for tin/lead based soldering temperatures while Tg 150 and Tg 170 is now generally required for lead free soldering, else delamination of circuit boards and "popcorning" of components can take place.
It has since been well established that trapped moisture is the cause of the destruction, through high steam pressures building up at temperatures well over boiling inside the pcbs. Some assemblers continue to use lower Tg pcbs successfully as long as these are stored in temperature and moisture controlled environments.
Pre-baking immediately prior to population and soldering of all none ROHS compliant components or improperly stored components can enable safe use of such components including pcb's. Please contact Shipco circuits for more information.

Whiten a matrix: Matlab & Python code
Whitening a matrix is a useful preprocessing step in data analysis. The goal is to transform matrix X into matrix Y such that Y has identity covariance matrix. This is straightforward enough, but in case you are too lazy to write such a function here's how you can do it in Matlab:
function [X] = whiten(X,fudgefactor)
X = bsxfun(@minus, X, mean(X));
A = X'*X;
[V,D] = eig(A);
X = X*V*diag(1./(diag(D)+fudgefactor).^(1/2))*V';
end
You can read about bsxfun here if you are unfamiliar with this function. Because the results of whitening can be noisy, a fudge factor is used so that eigenvectors associated with small eigenvalues do not get overamplified. Thus the whitening is only approximate. Here's an image patch whitened this way:
This accentuates high frequencies in the image. At the bottom you can see the covariance matrix of the set of natural image patches before and after whitening.
Here's an explanation for why this works as well as a reference you may cite.
What about in Python? ali_m very nicely translated my code to Python on StackOverflow, which I'm reprinting here for your ease of use:
import numpy as np
def whiten(X,fudge=1E-18):
 # the matrix X should be observations-by-components
 # get the covariance matrix
 Xcov = np.dot(X.T,X)
 # eigenvalue decomposition of the covariance matrix
 d, V = np.linalg.eigh(Xcov)
 # a fudge factor can be used so that eigenvectors associated with
 # small eigenvalues do not get overamplified.
 D = np.diag(1. / np.sqrt(d+fudge))
 # whitening matrix
 W = np.dot(np.dot(V, D), V.T)
 # multiply by the whitening matrix
 X_white = np.dot(X, W)
 return X_white, W
8 responses to "Whiten a matrix: Matlab & Python code"
 1. Thank you very much!
 I have a question. I'm using python and when i do the "diag(1./(diag(D)+fudgefactor).^(1/2))" the resultant array of that specific computation contains complex numbers, so i get an error when i try to multiply by X*V…*V' (the rest of the equation). I don't understand why you don't get the same error? Thank you very much!
 2. Hi, Thanks for the nice description.
 I am not sure, but I think there is a problem in the above code. To compute covariance matrix you are using X' * X, so my understanding is that you are considering each row as a sample and columns are features or variable. So, for the mean removal, based on the covariance definition, we need to remove mean from each sample and put samples around the origin in the feature space. As I know, mean(X) without dimension definition and in defaults calculate means of columns. So, in the above code instead of mean removal from rows/samples we are removing means from columns. To wrap up, I think it has to be, mean(X,2) or it has to be X*X'.

text: The use of wooden barrels to store and transport liquids dates back to 2690 B.C., when ancient Egyptians during the Early Dynastic Period began replacing clay vessels with wooden casks in order to meet the demands of their sprawling civilization. The advantages of wooden barrels were evident - not only were they less fragile than clay vessels, but their cylindrical shape allowed them to be rolled rather than carried across short distances. As settlers along the Nile quickly realized, however, barrels made from wooden staves imparted a unique color and flavor profile to the liquids stored within. Buck 8 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is matured for a minimum of eight years in new American oak casks under the intense Kentucky sun. As a result of this maturation process, the bourbon has a caramel color, along with an aroma of vanilla, dark fruits, creme brÃ»lée and honey. The aroma gives way to notes of cherries, maple syrup, waffle cones and wood spices on the palate, and leads to a finish accented by touches of caramel, charcoal and cocoa. The bourbon earned the Bronze Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and earned a score of 91 points from the Beverage Testing Institute. Pick up a bottle today!

However, this improvement is relatively limited when compared to the gain observed in face embedding learning, which has proven very successful for face verification and clustering tasks. Assuming that face and voices from the same identities share some latent properties (like age, gender, ethnicity), we propose two transfer learning approaches to leverage the knowledge from the face domain learned from thousands of identities for tasks in the speaker domain. These approaches, namely target embedding transfer and clustering structure transfer, utilize the structure of the source face embedding space at different granularities to regularize the target speaker turn embedding space as optimizing terms. Our methods are evaluated on two public broadcast corpora and yield promising advances over competitive baselines in verification and audio clustering tasks, especially when dealing with short speaker utterances. The analysis gives insight into characteristics of the embedding spaces and shows their potential applications.

One of the changes in Windows Vista is that the IPv4 and IPv6 stacks are integrated -- on older OSes they were completely separate stacks. One benefit of this tighter coupling is the ability to create dual-mode sockets. That is, an application can create a single TCP (or UDP) socket and receive both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. This is nice in the sense that the application only has to create a single server socket and can handle both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic which simplifies application development and reduces the amount of resources required.
This is done by creating an IPv6 socket (either TCP or UDP), setting the socket option IPV6_V6ONLY to false, followed by binding the socket. Setting the socket option must occur befor the bind. When the socket is bound and IPV6_V6ONLY is set to false, the stack actually opens an endpoint for both IPv4 and IPv6. If the specified port is already in use on either the IPv4 or IPv6 stack then the call will fail.
One other difference when using a dual stack socket is IPv4 addresses are returned in the IPv6 sockaddr structure (SOCKADDR_IN6). The family field of the structure will indicate AF_INET6; however, the address will be a IPv4 mapped address. The following TechNet article discusses the different types of IP addresses including IPv4 mapped:
The header file ws2ipdef.h contains several handy macros for determining if an address is V4 mapped. For example IN6_GET_ADDR_V4MAPPED will return the 4 byte IN_ADDR that is the IPv4 address while IN6_IS_ADDR_V4MAPPED will simply tell you if the given address is an IPv4 mapped address.
Of course, the drawback to dual stack sockets is that it is only available on Windows Vista. If an application has to run on downlevel OSes, it will still have to create one socket for each protocol.


Apple patents auto iPhone volume based on proximity
Wouldn't it be great if the iPhone could detect when you are holding the handset to your ear or sitting on a desk, automatically adjusting the volume? Apple thought so, as well. Tuesday, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted the iPhone maker a patent on a way to adjust the speaker volume based on proximity.
The patent, filed just a year after the iPhone was unveiled, uses the smartphone's many sensors to detect the device's proximity from a user. Just as a proximity sensor is used to detect when the phone is at your ear (thus turning off the touch screen), sensors could also adjust speaker volume…
The U.S. Patent No. 8,452,020, entitled "Adjustment of acoustic properties based on proximity detection," applies to both the iPhone's receiver and speaker and could automatically switch from receiver to speaker when it detects the iPhone is moved.
Apple patent (proximity 001)
Apple would also offer user the ability to set different volume profiles. Another potential for the technology is basing iPhone volume on the environment.
Potentially, if the iPhone detects you are in a loud room, the receiver volume could increase. Likewise, while in a quiet atmosphere, you and everyone nearby would not be blasted by a blaring voice.
The iPhone's proximity sensor has played an important role in the development of smartphones, similar to that of the touchscreen. At the original iPhone introduction, Steve Jobs made a point of how it helps improve battery life and user experience by turning off the display when bringing the device close to one's ear.
January 2007 iPhone introduction (Proximity sensor slide)
However, along with its wide-ranging uses it also has come controversy.
In 2010, a problem with the sensor caused some iPhone owners to complain the touchscreen would randomly turn back on during phone calls.
Apple soon issued an update addressing the problem.
And in the courtroom, Motorola is appealing the dismissal of a proximity patent lawsuit filed against Apple before the U.S. International Trade Commission.

Forget Blackadder, turnips and the Black Death: medieval England was extremely sophisticated
There's a tendency to think of the medieval English living an archaic, primitive, Blackadder sort of life: a lot of knobbly-faced peasants rotating crops, marrying at 12, before succumbing to their first bubons in the armpit at 15.
An exhibition opening at the British Library today, Royal Manuscripts: The Genius of Illumination, puts that right. Not only are the 154 gilded books on display extraordinarily beautiful – and in fresh, glittering condition – but they also show how sophisticated medieval England was. Pictured is Winchester's New Minster Charter, an Anglo-Saxon manuscript, gilded a century before William the Conqueror turned up. The workmanship and the colour are extremely advanced.
It's not just the works themselves that show up so well. English Gothic architecture, which appears as a backdrop to many of the illuminations, comes across as beautiful, skilled and varied, all the way through from around 1150 AD till 1530 AD. The manuscripts give similarly complimentary insights into medieval English philosophy, history, political thought, law and kingship.
A convenient view on English history sets up Elizabethan England, Shakespeare and the arrival of Renaissance architecture in the early 17th century as the great turning point – when stupid old rural England caught up with avant-garde Continental thought, art and architecture. This exhibition turns that view on its head.

National Tree Week
-The main focus of National Tree Week is planting more trees, and there's a lot we can do both in nursery and in our community. If you have space, why not plant some of your own trees?
There's plenty you can do at home to encourage children to celebrate this week. This is a great opportunity for teaching different kinds of trees, which ones are most common in your area, and how they can tell the difference. The aim of this week is to help make people aware of the environment around them and help them think about how they can keep it safe and sustainable.
Already this week we have been focusing on 'trees' and having a discussion about what trees need to grow, what can grow on trees and how we can look after trees. The children painted their own designs whilst discussing this further. We have a range of planting activities ready for the afternoon and the rest of the week to enhance this learning opportunity further.

This is a follow up question to my question yesterday Structural mechanics traction boundary condition question
Does a traction free boundary condition also mean that the displacement gradient is 0 where the boundary condition is applied? My thinking is that it does not because it seems you can have traction free (zero stress) surface with a non-zero displacement gradient.
The traction is defined as
$$ \mathbf{t} = \mathbf{n} \cdot \boldsymbol{\sigma} $$
In terms of components, the zero-traction condition is
$$ t_j = \sum_i n_i \sigma_{ij} = 0 $$
From the above you can see that the stress components don't necessarily have to be zero for the traction to be zero.
For a linear elastic material,
$$ \boldsymbol{\sigma} = \mathsf{C}:\nabla{\mathbf{u}} $$
In component form,
$$ \sigma_{ij} = \sum_k \sum_l C_{ijkl} \frac{\partial u_k}{\partial x_l} $$
Once again, since there is no requirement that all the $C_{ijkl}$ values have to be positive, you don't need all the displacement gradients to be zero for the stresses to be zero (which is not strictly necessary for zero-tractions anyway).
However, zero displacement gradients will lead to zero tractions.
 - $\begingroup$ Hmm. In my previous question, I concluded that traction free=stress free=free surface. Does traction free mean zero traction? Does stress free mean zero stress? If so, then doesn't this mean that traction free=zero stress? $\endgroup$ – David Jan 2 '18 at 22:22
 - $\begingroup$ Stress free = traction free but not vice versa. It's more intuitive if you think in terms of balance of forces on a small element. Note that the momentum PDE is typically defined on an open set; so there are some subtle issues here, e.g., St. Venant principle. $\endgroup$ – Biswajit Banerjee Jan 3 '18 at 0:38
 - $\begingroup$ Ahh got it. So then what is free surface? Is it zero stress? When I think of free surface, I think of the classical cantilever beam problem, where one end is fixed and the other surfaces are "free" $\endgroup$ – David Jan 3 '18 at 5:29
 - $\begingroup$ I believe these "free surfaces" exhibit zero stress (tangential and normal). $\endgroup$ – David Jan 3 '18 at 5:47
 - 1
 $\begingroup$ _USER_ Yes, but just on that surface. $\endgroup$ – nicoguaro Jan 3 '18 at 18:22

6 Tips to cool down your house naturally

Loading admin actions …
Summer is here! This means days next to the pool and summer holidays. Before that can happen, you are still at home, sun beating down mercilessly onto the earth and houses, which means the fans are pulled out and the air-con is on full blast, that's if you are lucky enough to be able to afford and sustain one.
That might be good for your body temperature, but the earth is not going to thank you and neither is your pocket. Using these types of cooling systems is extremely expensive and not necessarily good for your health.
The good news is, is that there is natural ways to keep your home cool, start by opening windows that creates a draft. This isn't the only way, plants different flooring and water all play a major part in keeping a house cool in this extreme heat.
Here are 6 tips on how to keep the house cool naturally.
Cool colours
One look at this beautiful house and we get the impression that it is rather cool or at least a comfortable temperature inside. Maybe it is the blue sky, the leaves on the ground or the different sizes windows that gives that impression, but it is actually the colour of the house.
Light colours like the off-white of this house reflects the sun beams instead of absorbs it like dark colours do. Less heat absorption equals a cooler house which is more pleasant to spend time in. Apart from the comfort you will get from a cooler house is the surprise you will get when you get the electricity bill at the end of the month. The bill should shrink by using a lighter colour on the exterior surface of your house, because the cooler a house is, the less need is there to use electric cooling systems.
Natural greens
Bringing the outdoors inside the house gives a different feel to a room, while also bringing down the temperature. Plants, especially Aloe Vera and the snake plant help to bring down the ambient temperature while also giving off oxygen, like other great indoor plants like the weeping fig, areca palm and Boston fern. Even if you get a plant solely for the reason to keep a place cool, it has the advantage of lifting your mood and creating a peaceful ambience.
While interior plants are great for cooling down and improving the quality of air, is it the big plants outside that does all the hard work. By placing big trees strategically around the house, you shade your house from the sun. The best trees is trees that sheds it's leaves during autumn months.
Vines and shrubs that is put against the hottest parts of walls blocks the sun from reaching the walls and thus cooling the house. It is also best to use deciduous vines and shrubs for optimised use.
Wooden floors
While not as cool as having a tile floor, wooden floors are still colder and healthier than carpets. If you are one of the lucky ones that lives in one of the old houses with crawl spaces underneath the wooden floor, you have a bigger advantage of wooden floors than other people. The crawl spaces provides airflow and because the foundation never get any sun, the result is a cooler touch, seeing that there isn't much warm air that can rise.
For more beautiful wooden floors check out The Natural Wood Floor Company's wood floor projects.
Window blinds
Blinds and shutters do a great job of blocking out the sun, as long as it is used in the right way. If necessary a light curtain or drapes can be used over the blinds to further cools the house. Horizontal blinds that can be turned to either side is a good starting point. By turning the blinds, that the smooth side show to the outside, keeps the sun from coming in, while you can still open it a bit to let in natural light. Some blinds to consider is: bamboo blinds, that is woven together tightly, blocking heat and aluminium blinds, that reflects the sunlight is it hits the blinds.
Another option is to install outdoor blinds, on the terrace or balcony. This will also let in less sun, which in turns means less heat.
Cross ventilation
A concept used in the day to day life of most people. This is basically having two windows, doors or a door and a window open to allow for the flow of the air to move through the room or house without interruption. If the house was designed with proper ventilation in mind, there would always be an escape for the air that comes in via the door or window. The flow of fresh air through the house, cools the house quickly and thoroughly without having to use electricity. Just remember to put stoppers in front of the doors and lock the windows, otherwise you might need to pay for new glass panes.
One problem with cross ventilation is if there isn't a substantial wind to bring fresh, cold air into the rooms or the air outside is so warm and humid it is of no use, but as long as a nice wind is blowing, is this a pocket-friendly way to keep the house cool as well as control the air quality.
Wooden louvers
Lastly is the wooden louvers which first of all creates a different atmosphere. The shutters can be turned to block the sunlight, which would cool the house and also keeps the cool air from escaping or turn it to let sun in.
The louvers can also entirely open so that fresh air comes in that also cools a house, as long as direct sunlight doesn't stream in. Some louvers are set outside the house, usually next to smaller windows that can be closed to block out the sun. The advantage of a louver is that, even though it is turned to block the sun, it can still let in fresh air.
Painting the louvers a light colour instead of leaving it in the normal wood reflects the sunlight and not just blocking it, which in turns is a better cooling system than just turning it down. Combining the louvers with drapes or curtains, adds even more insulation against the heat.
Keeping ice cold water or a fishpond around creates cooler air when the warmer air comes in contact with it. Combining the different tips on how to keep the house naturally cool, can safe you a lot of money, while preserving the earth and ozone layer.These tips also adds different dynamics to a house to make it, cooler yet welcoming.

Qward (also spelled Quard) is a planet located at the very center of the antimatter universe. It serves as that dimension's analog to the positive-matter world known as Oa. Meaning that it is Oa's only counterpart.
Qward and the rest of the antimatter universe are the direct result of cosmic tampering wrought by the Maltusian scientist known as Krona. This brilliant, renegade scientist built a device designed to commune with the source of all creation in an effort to learn the origins of the cosmos. The experiment violated the tenants of cosmic law, and as such a backlash ensued which resulted in the creation of the Antimatter Universe and the multiverse.
The Qwardians are the natives of this planet. The Weaponers of Qward are a society of smiths and engineers that comprise a large population of the native Qwardian race. The Weaponers are known for creating the first Qwardian Power Ring which became the signature weapon of the villain Sinestro. The Qwardians are sworn enemies of the Green Lantern Corps.
- Qward was first mentioned in Green Lantern, Vol. 2, #2 on October, 1960.
- The subtitles on the Season 3 episode, 'Doomsday' spells Qward as Quard.
- The episode Doomsday also calls the antimatter universe itself 'Qward.'

Journey to the Institute of Medicine
Since the 1970s, the beginning of fall is marked each year by a prestigious honor for up to 70 leaders in biomedical science, health care, health policy and related fields: election to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies. Most years, members of Texas Medical Center institutions can be found among the new inductees, and this year is no exception.
Three of the 70 new members announced in October have ties to the medical center. Guillermina Lozano, Ph.D., is chair of the department of genetics at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, David Piwnica-Worms, M.D., Ph.D., is chair of the department of cancer systems imaging at MD Anderson, and Deepak Srivastava, M.D., the Younger Family Director of the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease and director of the Roddenberry Stem Cell Center at Gladstone, is the nonresident scholar for biomedical research policy at Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy.
A parameter for electing new members set by the Institute of Medicine is to build a diverse group of people from a variety of backgrounds, and these three new members embody that goal. They are all accomplished leaders in their respective fields, but each has arrived at this honor thanks to their own unique and groundbreaking body of work.
For Lozano, the path to the Institute is connected to a different path: the p53 tumor suppressor pathway. For years, her work has been focused on the protein known as p53. When p53 is functioning properly, it prevents tumors from developing.
"P53 is a tumor suppressor, and I would say every tumor somehow figures out how to inactivate p53," said Lozano. "Most of the time it does so by mutating the gene so it's not functional, but sometimes it overproduces inhibitors of the pathway." Inactivating p53 allows cancerous cells the opportunity to grow freely.
A discovery Lozano noted as particularly significant in her research was identifying the importance of MDM2 and MDM4 in inhibiting p53. "The very first mouse model we generated was a model that showed how crucial the relationship between MDM2 and p53 is," said Lozano.
The discovery of that relationship represents just one of the many accomplishments that led to Lozano's IOM membership, an honor she hasn't yet fully absorbed.
"It's just now sinking in," said Lozano. "I appreciate that the medical community has highlighted and rewarded our accomplishments with this honor."
While the election represents an acknowledgment of the work Lozano has completed thus far in her career, the research process never ends. There is still more to be done to achieve a full understanding of p53 and how it functions. "The pathway is a very complex and branched pathway," said Lozano. "We're trying to figure out what the missing pieces are."
Among her future goals is characterizing a new animal model to understand p53 somatic mutations.
"All of our models have really revolved around an inherited mutation in p53, so a big part of my lab now is moving towards generating a somatic mutation of p53," said Lozano. "There are some individuals who inherit p53 mutations but that's a rare population. Most people have normal p53, but the tumor specifically generates mutations in p53. We have some new models that are going to more faithfully recapitulate that inactivation of p53 in a single cell."
"It's a team sport and I've had the good fortune of having some outstanding trainees, graduate students, and fellows over the years." — David Piwnica-Worms, M.D., Ph.D., chair of the Department of Cancer Systems Imaging at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center
For Piwnica-Worms, also at MD Anderson, the path to the Institute of Medicine was illuminated by a glow familiar to most—firefly luciferase, the enzyme that causes fireflies to glow. As chair of the department of cancer systems imaging, Piwnica-Worms is focused on molecular imaging, which allows researchers to observe cancer cells at work in vivo, or inside the body.
"What molecular imaging is about is trying to visualize molecular and biochemical events within the context of the body using external imaging devices," said Piwnica-Worms, a pioneer in the development of the field. "Our particular area that we've emphasized for many years involves using genetically encoded reporters—using the tools of cell and molecular biology to insert a reporter enzyme that, just like a reporter at a newspaper or on the Internet, can participate and observe something and then report out on it."
This process involves inserting the firefly luciferase gene into live cells to make them glow and emit photons.
"Using specialized instruments that are very sensitive to those photons, we can map the process that we've linked that firefly luciferase reporter gene to," said Piwnica-Worms. "When engineered into mouse animals with cancer we can observe these dynamic processes of cancer biology in vivo using the bioluminescence imaging approach."
The field of molecular imaging represents a change in the way cancer research was approached in the past, because it offers the opportunity to observe how cancer cells interact and function while they are inside the body, as opposed to studying cells in culture, on petri dishes.
"We learned a lot from cells in culture, but there are some things you just can't recapitulate with cells in culture on glass or plastic cover slips, because you're not getting the same signals that they would be as if they were in the animal or in the human, ultimately," said Piwnica-Worms. "The whole field of molecular imaging provides that opportunity to study molecular biochemical events in their native context in the whole body."
A future goal for Piwnica-Worms and his team is to observe those events in the human body, as his team works toward translating the approaches they have used in cell and animal models into human patients.
"One reason I came to MD Anderson a year ago was the opportunity in the collaborative culture here and the huge patient base," said Piwnica-Worms. "We are looking at some specific opportunities in our cancer metabolism and inflammation imaging to try to think about translating these. None are ready for primetime or clinical applications, in vivo, in the near term but we're working towards that."
As he makes plans for the future, the IOM election offers Piwnica-Worms the opportunity to look back at how much the field of molecular imaging has grown and acknowledge all who have contributed to his work.
"It truly represents decades worth of collaboration and wonderful trainees that have been in the lab over time, that have done so much of the hard work," he said. "It's always nice to have some recognition and validation of all the hard work. It's a team sport and I've had the good fortune of having some outstanding trainees, graduate students, and fellows over the years."
As for Srivastava, the third new Institute of Medicine member connected to Texas Medical Center, the path to the IOM began right here in the medical center. Srivastava grew up in Galveston, where his father has worked as a professor and scientist at The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston (UTMB) for 40 years. He completed his undergraduate work at Rice University and attended medical school at UTMB. Although his current home base is at the Gladstone Institutes in San Francisco, he still serves as the nonresident scholar for biomedical research policy at Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy.
"These experiences served as the foundation for all the work I have done subsequently," said Srivastava.
That work includes discovering the gene networks that control the formation of the heart in an embryo, as well as identifying mutations in those genes that cause congenital heart defects
"Most recently, we redeployed embryonic heart muscle gene networks in scar-forming cells of the heart to regenerate new muscle, thereby repairing the heart after damage in animal models," said Srivastava. "I am most excited about this latter work since it has the potential to offer hope to the millions of people worldwide suffering from heart disease and may serve as an alternative to heart transplants."
For Srivastava, in addition to acknowledging his own achievements in medicine, the IOM election offers the opportunity to recognize those who have worked alongside him in the lab.

Background: Density plot visualizations (also referred to as heat maps or color maps) are widely used in different fields including large-scale omics studies in biological sciences. However, the current color-codings limit the visualizations to single datasets or pairwise comparisons. Results: We propose a color-coding approach for the representation of three-way comparisons. The approach is based on the HSB (hue, saturation, brightness) color model. The three compared values are assigned specific hue values from the circular hue range (e.g. red, green, and blue). The hue value representing the three-way comparison is calculated according to the distribution of three compared values. If two of the values are identical and one is different, the resulting hue is set to the characteristic hue of the differing value. If all three compared values are different, the resulting hue is selected from a color gradient running between the hues of the two most distant values (as measured by the absolute value of their difference) according to the relative position of the third value between the two. The saturation of the color representing the three-way comparison reflects the amplitude (or extent) of the numerical difference between the two most distant values according to a scale of interest. The brightness is set to a maximum value by default but can be used to encode additional information about the three-way comparison. Conclusion: We propose a novel color-coding approach for intuitive visualization of three-way comparisons of omics data.

For any set $X$ and positive integer $k$ denote by $[X]^k$ the set of subsets $S\subseteq X$ such that $|S|=k$.
Let $H=(V,E)$ be a hypergraph such that for every $e\in E$ we have $|e|\geq 2$. A map $c:V\to \kappa$, where $\kappa$ is a cardinal, is said to be a (hypergraph) coloring if for all $e\in E$ the restriction $c|_e$ is not constant. By $\chi(H)$ we denote the smallest cardinal $\kappa$ such that there is a coloring $c:V\to \kappa$.
Given any positive integer $n$, we consider it as a finite cardinal $n = \{0,\ldots,n-1\}$. It is easy to see that if $a, b$ are positive integers with $a < b \leq 2a$ then $\chi\big((2a, [2a]^b)\big) = 2$: color the even members of $2a$ with $0$, and the odd members with $1$.
Given a fixed positive integer $k>2$, is there always $n>2k-2$ such that $\chi\big((n, [n]^k)\big) = n$?

 $\begingroup$ $\chi((n,[n]^k))=\lceil n/(k-1)\rceil$ $\endgroup$ – Fedor Petrov Jan 31 '19 at 15:46
Notice that a map $c : n \to \kappa$ is a coloring of $(n,[n]^k)$ iff no element of $\kappa$ has $k$ distinct preimages. Hence by the pigeonhole principle $\chi((n,[n]^k)) = \lceil\frac{n}{k-1}\rceil$.
Now for any $k \geq 3$ and $n > 2k-2$ we have $n > 2$, so $\frac{n}{n-1} < 2 \leq k-1$, implying $\frac{n}{k-1} < n-1$.
Thus $\chi((n,[n]^k)) = \lceil\frac{n}{k-1}\rceil < n$.

To promote sustainable practices and efficient resource management, facilities managers nowadays need to prioritize identifying and managing invisible waste in facility operations.
These hidden sources of waste tend to drain resources, increase costs, and negatively impact both the environment and the overall performance of facility operations.
To address this challenge, proactive approaches are necessary. Obviously, it is essential to identify, assess, and tackle hidden waste through innovative strategies and practical solutions.
Therefore, by managing and reducing invisible waste, facilities can optimize their operations, enhance sustainability, and achieve significant cost savings. This drives the need for comprehensive solutions and implements effective waste management practices tailored to facility operations.
- What is invisible waste in facilities management?
- Invisible sources of waste often overlooked in facility management.
- Assessing the impacts of invisible waste.
- Strategies for managing and reducing invisible waste.
- Benefits and future outlook.
What is invisible waste in facilities management?
Invisible waste in facilities management refers to the waste that often goes unnoticed or overlooked within the operations of a facility.
Unlike visible waste, such as physical trash or discarded materials, invisible waste refers to inefficiencies, redundancies, and unnecessary resource consumption that are not immediately apparent. This type of waste includes energy waste, water waste, time waste, and other inefficiencies that can accumulate over time. As a result, leading to a significant impact on the facility's overall sustainability and operational costs.
Invisible waste can result from inefficient processes, outdated equipment, lack of awareness or monitoring, and a failure to implement sustainable practices. Therefore, managing and reducing invisible waste is crucial for optimizing facility operations, reducing environmental impact, and improving cost-effectiveness.
4 invisible sources of waste that are often overlooked in facility management
Identifying hidden waste involves recognizing and understanding the less apparent aspects of waste generation and inefficiencies within the facility. By developing an understanding of what constitutes invisible waste, facility managers can proactively implement measures to mitigate its effects and enhance operational efficiency.
1. Obsolete technologies
Outdated or inefficient technologies that are still in use can lead to hidden waste. This includes old equipment, systems, or software that consume more energy, require frequent maintenance, or lack compatibility with newer, more efficient solutions. For example:
- Outdated lighting systems: Using inefficient lighting technologies like incandescent bulbs instead of energy-efficient LED lighting.
- Legacy equipment: Continuing to operate old machinery or equipment that consumes excessive energy compared to newer, more efficient alternatives.
- Outmoded HVAC systems: Failing to upgrade to modern HVAC systems that offer better energy management and control.
2. Maintenance waste
Inadequate maintenance practices can contribute to hidden waste. This includes delays in addressing equipment issues, improper calibration, lack of preventive maintenance, and inefficient repair processes. Clearly, neglecting maintenance can lead to equipment breakdowns, increased energy usage, and higher repair costs.
- Reactive maintenance: Waiting for equipment to break down before performing repairs instead of implementing preventive maintenance schedules.
- Inefficient asset management: Poor tracking and management of assets, leading to unnecessary downtime, delays in repairs, and increased energy consumption.
3. Energy consumption
Energy consumption is considered a significant source of hidden waste. Improper insulation, outdated HVAC systems, and energy losses from equipment in standby mode contribute to hidden energy waste.
- Standby power: Neglecting to power off or utilize energy-saving modes for electronic devices, resulting in unnecessary energy consumption.
- Inefficient HVAC settings: Not properly programming or adjusting HVAC systems based on occupancy patterns or seasonal requirements, leading to energy waste.
- Poor insulation: Inadequate insulation in buildings, windows, or pipes, causes heat or cool air loss and requires more energy for heating or cooling.
4. Workflow waste
Inefficient workflows and processes within the facility can contribute to hidden waste. This includes unnecessary movement or transportation of materials, poor coordination among teams, unclear communication channels, or excessive paperwork, leading to delays, errors, and resource inefficiencies.
- Inefficient filing and storage systems lead to time wasted on searching for and managing paperwork.
- Poorly designed or suboptimal sequencing of tasks or processes, leading to bottlenecks, idle time, or unnecessary waiting.
Assessing the impacts of invisible waste
Assessing the impacts of invisible waste is crucial for understanding the consequences it has on facility operations, resources, and sustainability. While invisible waste may not be immediately visible, its effects can be significant. By conducting a thorough assessment, organizations can gain insight into the following impacts of hidden waste:
Invisible waste can result in financial burdens for facility operations. Inefficient energy usage, material waste, and maintenance inefficiencies contribute to increased utility bills, unnecessary expenditures, and higher operational costs.
Invisible waste has a detrimental effect on the environment. Excessive energy consumption contributes to increased carbon emissions and environmental pollution. Water waste strains freshwater resources, while material waste adds to landfill volumes. By assessing the environmental impact, organizations can better understand their ecological footprint, take steps to minimize it and achieve their ESG goals.
Invisible waste hinders operational efficiency. Inefficient processes, equipment breakdowns due to inadequate maintenance, and time wasted on unnecessary tasks all contribute to decreased productivity and output. In fact, assessing these inefficiencies helps identify areas for improvement and optimization.
Occupant health and safety risks
Invisible waste can pose risks to occupant health and safety. For example, poor indoor air quality resulting from improper maintenance or inefficient ventilation systems can lead to respiratory issues. Water leaks or mold growth caused by undetected issues can also impact occupant health. Assessing these risks enables proactive measures to mitigate potential hazards.
4 strategies for managing and reducing invisible waste
Efficient management of invisible waste is essential in facilities management. Implementing the following strategies can help organizations identify and reduce invisible waste, leading to improved sustainability and operational efficiency.
1. Conduct waste audits and assessments
- Regularly assess and analyze the facility's operations to identify areas of waste and inefficiency.
- Perform waste audits to quantify and evaluate the types and amounts of invisible waste generated.
- Use data from audits and assessments to prioritize areas for improvement and set measurable waste reduction goals.
2. Implement lean and continuous improvement practices
- Adopt lean principles and practices to streamline workflows, eliminate non-value-added activities, and optimize resource utilization.
- Encourage a culture of continuous improvement, where employees are empowered to identify and suggest ways to reduce waste.
- Implement performance tracking systems to monitor progress and identify opportunities for further waste reduction.
3. Promote employee engagement and training
- Educate and involve employees in waste reduction efforts by providing training on sustainable practices, waste identification, and efficient resource management.
- Encourage employee feedback and suggestions for improving processes and reducing waste.
- Foster a culture of responsibility and ownership, where employees actively participate in waste reduction initiatives.
4. Implement sustainable procurement and supplier management
- Develop sustainable procurement policies that prioritize environmentally friendly and resource-efficient products.
- Collaborate with suppliers to explore opportunities for waste reduction, recycling, and sustainable packaging.
- Regularly evaluate supplier performance and consider their environmental practices as a factor in the selection process.
Benefits and future outlook
When invisible waste is effectively managed and overcome in facilities management, several benefits can be realized. Here are four benefits and a future outlook:
Continuous focus on energy efficiency, waste reduction, and resource optimization will lead to further cost savings and financial efficiency in facilities management.
Sustainability and environmental impact
Increasing emphasis on sustainability practices will drive the adoption of greener technologies, renewable energy sources, and circular economy principles, ensuring a positive environmental impact.
Enhanced efficiency and productivity
Advancements in automation, data analytics, and artificial intelligence will continue to enhance operational efficiency and productivity, allowing facilities to achieve more with fewer resources.
Reputation and stakeholder satisfaction
Growing awareness and demand for environmentally responsible practices will drive facilities to prioritize waste reduction, resulting in enhanced reputation and increased satisfaction among stakeholders and customers.
In conclusion, effective management and reduction of invisible waste in facilities management is essential for promoting sustainability, cost savings, and operational efficiency. Overlooking sources of waste such as inefficient workflows, outdated technologies, maintenance waste, and material waste can lead to missed opportunities.
By implementing strategies like waste audits, lean practices, employee engagement, and sustainable procurement, facilities can uncover hidden waste and achieve significant benefits. These include reduced costs, improved environmental sustainability, enhanced productivity, and a good reputation.
The future outlook for facilities management that successfully manages invisible waste is promising, with advancements in technology and a growing emphasis on sustainability. Embracing invisible waste solutions is not only an opportunity but also a responsibility to create a greener and more sustainable future.

Piece of Unix Hints _URL_ hints.jeb.be Thu, 25 Aug 2011 21:02:36 +0000 en-US hourly 1 _URL_ Trend / Prediction with RRDtool _URL_ _URL_ Fri, 04 Dec 2009 20:33:12 +0000 _URL_ I've not used RRDtool for a while and put back my attention on it few weeks ago. I found out that lots of new cool stuff are avalaible, like LSLSLOPE, LSLINT. These function return the parameters of the Least Squares Line (y = ax +b) approximating a dataset (LSLSLOPE return a, LSLINT return b).
This is interesting because with the function approximating your data you can graph a prediction of future data. Of course a Least Squares Line function will work best to approximate a dataset that tend to grow or shrink (like filesystem usage, memory usage, …) but not for data like temperature. I would say that if your data can be expressed in a percentage, an Least Squares Line can be fine. For data not tending to grow or shrink rrdtool provide some other function like TREND and PREDICT.
I will show how to use LSLSLOPE and LSLINT taking memory usage of a device as an example. My exemple will produce a graph like the following :
MemoryTrend
As you see, the graph show trend using two Least Squares Line function, one generated from the full dataset (dataset is starting 24 Oct 2009) and one generated only from last week data. Projection on time axis is done from 90% to 100% of memory usage and the date resulting of calculation for 90% and 100% of usage is displayed. I've seen lots of question asking how to do this but did not found any answer, so I hope that my example will provide an answer.
Here is the perl code I'm using to generate this graph. There is no Perl specific code, so it can be converted to a normal rrdtool command.

Threshold Research on the Elderly Pedestrian Ratio in Pedestrian Crossing Speed Setting on Signalized Crosswalks in China
Inadequate consideration of the elderly people crossing demand on the signalized intersections would bring great potential safety hazards, especially the speed through the crosswalk. By observing the pedestrian walking speed at three signalized crosswalks and a relatively spacious sidewalk in Chongqing, China, this paper has obtained the walking speed values of 658 elderly people and 1,176 adults at the signalized crosswalks, as well as the walking speed parameters of 868 adults and 422 elderly people on a relatively spacious sidewalk section. Comparing the walking speed of adults walking along the sidewalk section and on signalized crosswalks, the data show that there is no significant difference between these two site speeds. Similarly, when comparing the two site data of the elderly, it is found that their walking speed at the signalized crosswalk is significantly higher than that on the sidewalk section. That is to say, the speed setting for the old people crossing the crosswalk has not been fully considered. Subsequently, taking the elderly's walking speed as input parameter, establishing the simulation models under different proportions of the elderly and different pedestrian flows, and then gain the walking speed values of the pedestrians with different quantities and different proportion of the elderly pedestrians. With the help of the unknown breakpoint Regression method, under the setting of the elderly pedestrian speed crossing the street, the proportion threshold of the elderly crossing the street at the signalized intersection is obtained. The results show that when the proportion of the elderly is more than 15% of the pedestrians crossing the street, the pedestrian crossing speed value for the signal time is suggested to be 0.97 m/s.

Convert Kilogram-force per square millimeter to Centimeter of water column (kgf/mm² to cmH2O):
 1. Choose the right category from the selection list, in this case 'Pressure'.
 2. Next enter the value you want to convert. The basic operations of arithmetic: addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*, x), division (/, :, ÷), exponent (^), brackets and π (pi) are all permitted at this point.
 3. From the selection list, choose the unit that corresponds to the value you want to convert, in this case 'Kilogram-force per square millimeter [kgf/mm²]'.
 4. Finally choose the unit you want the value to be converted to, in this case 'Centimeter of water column [cmH2O]'.
 5. Then, when the result appears, there is still the possibility of rounding it to a specific number of decimal places, whenever it makes sense to do so.
With this calculator, it is possible to enter the value to be converted together with the original measurement unit; for example, '882 Kilogram-force per square millimeter'. In so doing, either the full name of the unit or its abbreviation can be usedas an example, either 'Kilogram-force per square millimeter' or 'kgf/mm2'. Then, the calculator determines the category of the measurement unit of measure that is to be converted, in this case 'Pressure'. After that, it converts the entered value into all of the appropriate units known to it. In the resulting list, you will be sure also to find the conversion you originally sought. Alternatively, the value to be converted can be entered as follows: '11 kgf/mm2 to cmH2O' or '24 kgf/mm2 into cmH2O' or '93 Kilogram-force per square millimeter -> Centimeter of water column' or '33 kgf/mm2 = cmH2O' or '31 Kilogram-force per square millimeter to cmH2O' or '69 kgf/mm2 to Centimeter of water column' or '10 Kilogram-force per square millimeter into Centimeter of water column'. For this alternative, the calculator also figures out immediately into which unit the original value is specifically to be converted. Regardless which of these possibilities one uses, it saves one the cumbersome search for the appropriate listing in long selection lists with myriad categories and countless supported units. All of that is taken over for us by the calculator and it gets the job done in a fraction of a second.
Furthermore, the calculator makes it possible to use mathematical expressions. As a result, not only can numbers be reckoned with one another, such as, for example, '(25 * 56) kgf/mm2'. But different units of measurement can also be coupled with one another directly in the conversion. That could, for example, look like this: '882 Kilogram-force per square millimeter + 2646 Centimeter of water column' or '20mm x 21cm x 15dm = ? cm^3'. The units of measure combined in this way naturally have to fit together and make sense in the combination in question.
If a check mark has been placed next to 'Numbers in scientific notation', the answer will appear as an exponential. For example, 8.099 999 926 29×1022. For this form of presentation, the number will be segmented into an exponent, here 22, and the actual number, here 8.099 999 926 29. For devices on which the possibilities for displaying numbers are limited, such as for example, pocket calculators, one also finds the way of writing numbers as 8.099 999 926 29E+22. In particular, this makes very large and very small numbers easier to read. If a check mark has not been placed at this spot, then the result is given in the customary way of writing numbers. For the above example, it would then look like this: 80 999 999 262 900 000 000 000. Independent of the presentation of the results, the maximum precision of this calculator is 14 places. That should be precise enough for most applications.

What it Means to be Human: Christian Anthropology, East and West
Before the 5th century, there was a general consensus amongst all five Patriarchates of the united Christian Church (Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, Rome, and Jerusalem) on what it means to be human (anthropology). So, before AD 400 there was no significant variation in Christian Anthropology.
I will present a brief summary of that common doctrine as a baseline to explain and contrast the alternative anthropology developed mainly by Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, of the Roman Patriarchate, around the beginning of the 5th century. Augustine's unique views on anthropology became dogma in the Roman Patriarchate and later Roman Catholic Church after the Great Schism divided the united Christian Church in 1054. Augustine's doctrines continue to dominate Roman Catholic and Protestant theology to this day.
For simplicity, I will refer to the original anthropology of the Christian Church as the Eastern Greek doctrine and the 5th century Roman alternative anthropology as the Western Latin doctrine.
In the next post in this series, we will discuss Eastern Greek Anthropology.

During digestion, high concentrations of divalent minerals (DMs) can lead to insoluble lipid-soap complex formation, hampering carotenoid bioaccessibility. The effect of varying concentrations (0-1000 mg/L) of calcium, magnesium, zinc and sodium (control) on the bioaccessibility of lutein, neoxanthin, lycopene and β-carotene, following in vitro gastro-intestinal digestion (GI), was investigated systematically and coupled with physical measurements of the digesta. Addition of DMs significantly decreased (p < 0.001) carotenoid bioaccessibility, up to 100% in the case of calcium. Mean half maximal inhibitory concentrations (EC50) for calcium, magnesium and zinc were 270 ± 18, 253 ± 75 and 420 ± 322 mg/L respectively. Increased DM concentrations correlated with decreased viscosity (r > 0.9) and decreased carotenoid bioaccessibility. Surface tension of digesta correlated inversely (p < 0.05) with the bioaccessibility of carotenoids. This correlation was mineral and carotenoid dependent. Although based on in vitro findings, it is plausible that similar interactions occur in vivo, with DMs affecting the bioaccessibility and bioavailability of carotenoids and other lipophilic micronutrients and phytochemicals.

This java applet generates Fresnel diffraction patterns, which are the shadows cast by small apertures when using a plane source of monochromatic light as a light source.
When you start up the applet, a circular aperture will be used. This is the pattern generated when a plane source of monochromatic light is shined on a small circular hole (about 5 mm across) in an otherwise opaque object. The red line is the outline of the geometrical shadow (the shadow which would be cast if there were no diffraction).
You can select a different aperture shape (such as a half plane, double slit, triple slit, rectangle, etc.) from the Aperture popup. Or you can change the size of the circle by dragging the red line with the mouse.

AN ACT TO AMEND SECTION 555, TITLE 28, DELAWARE CODE, RELATING TO "BREAKAGE" AS TO HARNESS RACING.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Delaware:
Section 1. Amend subsection (a), Section 555, Title 28, Delaware Code, by adding the following sentence immediately after the first sentence thereof ending with the word "wagered and before the next sentence thereof:
If a minus pool is created, the association may break to the lowest multiple of 5.
Approved July 1, 1969.


Soft tissue creep can be arrested and reverse daily if hysteresis is produced in the ligaments, discs, and tendons.
Hysteresis:
Hysteresis refers to the energy loss of visco-elastic materials when they're subject to progressive loading and unloading cycles over time. Your ligaments, discs, and tendons hold energy. You load and unload cycles through compression and traction. This leads to the temporary loss of energy – also known as hysteresis. Hysteresis alters the nucleus pulposus of the discs from hydro-gel, which is a Jello-O like resistance to motion, into hydro-sol, which is a water-like solution with limited resistance to positional changes. When the soft tissue's resistance is significantly reduced, the joints can easily be repositioned before the holding energy is regained. Holding energy is typically regained after 15 to 20 minutes of inactivity.
Certain types of Pettibon equipment will produce hysteresis. This is how the weighting systems work: they retrain your muscles to hold a more proper alignment.
Another benefit of the Pettibon System is that the patient is encouraged to actively participant in treatments, both in the clinic and at home. While waiting for the therapist, the patient can use specialized equipment to warm up and stretch their muscles, for example. The chiropractor will also provide follow-up exercises for home care.

Gopher purge, or spurge, is native to the Mediterranean region and has a history of medicinal use. Once used as a purgative before modern medicine, it also has a history of being used to treat certain cancers and warts. This plant, also known as the mole plant, was brought over to the United States to help repel moles and other rodents in various agricultural settings. Eventually it self-seeded and is now found in many areas of the eastern and western coast of the United States.
Gopher purge is botanically and scientifically known as Euphorbia lathyris. This plant stands upright with linear leaves that are bluish to greenish in color. When snapped open or bitten into, a toxic sap emerges from the leaves and stem. This toxic sap contains saponins that can cause irritation to the skin when touched and many symptoms, some severe, when ingested by dogs and humans. It is recommended; when working with the plant that gloves are worn to keep the sap away from the skin.
Gopher purge poisoning in dogs is the result of dogs ingesting all or part of a gopher purge plant which can cause toxic effects like frequent urination and dizziness . Gopher purge contains a toxic sap that can cause severe irritation to the skin, and when ingested can cause symptoms of toxicity.
When gopher purge is ingested by dogs, multiple signs of toxicity can occur. Symptoms of gopher purge poisoning include:
Gopher purge has a variety of names for the same plant. Knowledge of the alternate names is important, especially if there are dogs around the plant. Other names for gopher purge are:
Gopher purge poisoning begins with the ingestion of the plant. The milky sap of the plant is quite toxic. Specific causes of toxicity include:
If you suspect your dog has eaten gopher purge, it is important that he receives veterinary attention as soon as possible. Taking a piece of the plant in with you may help the physician make a rapid diagnosis. If you are unsure that your dog ingested the plant, the veterinarian will need to rely on his clinical signs in various test results to make a definitive diagnosis.
To begin, the veterinarian may want to test your dog's vomit for any signs of the toxic substance. Inducing vomiting may be one of the first actions she takes. The physician will also perform various tests such as blood work, urinalysis, and biochemistry profile. These tests will allow the veterinarian to check protein and enzyme levels, as well as any soft tissue damage that may have occurred.
The veterinarian may also do a patch test if any of the sap came into contact with the fur, face, or skin of your dog. The veterinarian may also need to flush out the mouth or eyes if any of the toxic substance caused irritation.
Treatment of gopher purge poisoning in dogs is symptomatic. Many dogs do not have serious or life-threatening poisoning due to the gopher purge; however, if your dog has ingested a large quantity of the plant, he may need more intense treatment. Treatment methods include:
The sap from gopher purge is very irritating to the skin and eyes. If your dog is showing irritation to the skin, eyes, or mouth area, the veterinarian will immediately flush out the areas to help with the irritation. In some cases, the veterinarian will need to apply an antihistamine ointment if your dog is having an exterior reaction.
It is very important to keep your dog hydrated, to encourage urination, and to help the kidneys flush out any of the poisoning. Enzyme and protein levels can be stabilized with plenty of fluids as well.
The induction of emesis allows the dog to get rid of any the stomach contents that contain the poisonous sap of the gopher purge plant. Emesis is normally followed by the administration of activated charcoal and can prevent the phorbol esters from being absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract.
The veterinarian will monitor your dog for any allergic reactions. If your dog suffers from any allergic reactions, he will be given an antihistamine. The veterinary team will give the dog time on the fluids and then perform any other tests to be sure he is recovering properly. The physician may want to monitor your dog overnight to be sure he is stable enough to eventually go home.
Every dog is unique, and the recovery depends on the amount of gopher purge that was eaten and the time it took to receive proper treatment. In most cases, prognosis is good, but it is very important to monitor your dog when he comes home from the animal hospital. The veterinary team may recommend a gentle, bland diet if your dog suffered from any gastrointestinal tract issues. The staff will advise you on the best foods to feed him and will also recommend that he receives fresh water several times a day.
The veterinarian will want to see your pet again for visits to be sure he is becoming well. He may administer bloodwork and urinalysis to be sure everything looks satisfactory in terms of bodily functions. If you see any new symptoms when your dog is home with you, it will be important to contact your veterinarian just to be sure the dog is fine. In order to prevent poisoning from gopher purge or any other toxic plant, be sure to remove the plants from the home. If toxic plants are on the property, it is important to monitor your dog when he is outdoors to keep him away from the poisonous plants.

Objective:The primary objective is to describe the relationship between the days supplied of postsurgical filled opioid prescriptions and refills.Background:The American College of Surgeons (ACS) has called for surgeons to alter opioid prescribing to counteract the opioid epidemic while simultaneously providing pain relief. However, there is insufficient evidence to inform perioperative prescribing guidelines and quality metrics in children.Methods:We performed a secondary data analysis of nationwide commercial claims from the Health Care Cost Institute (HCCI) data spanning 2010 and 2014. Based on initial opioid fill and refill rates for 11 common pediatric procedures, the refill analysis focused on anterior cruciate ligament repair, humerus fracture repair, cholecystectomy, posterior spinal fusion, and tonsillectomy.Results:There were 178,990 cases with a median age of 6. Overall, 48.5% of patients filled an opioid prescription between 30 days before surgery through 7 days after surgery, and 14.2% filled a second opioid prescription within 30 days. There was a significant negative relationship between days supplied in the initial prescription and probability of a refill for humerus fracture, spinal fusion, and tonsillectomy. The largest effect was seen for tonsillectomy, with the odds of having a refill decreasing by approximately 12% for each day supplied in the initial prescription (odds ratio 0.88, 95% confidence interval 0.87-0.89, P < 0.001).Conclusions:Pediatric postoperative opioid-prescribing guidelines need to be procedure-specific and based on patient age. We provide the days supplied associated with a 20% probability of a refill by age to further guideline development.

During the REBELLIONS OF 1837, the bank annoyed local commercial interests and, partly as a result, the Commercial Bank of the Midland District expanded more rapidly in the 1840s. During the 1850s, the bank held the government account, provided significant short-term capital for railway development and, in the boom years, recklessly speculated in land and railways. The bank never recovered from the 1857 economic collapse, losing the government account in 1864 and entering trusteeship in November 1866. Despite its great contribution to the development of Canadian commerce, it became a casualty of the very process it had helped facilitate: the transition from MERCANTILISM to an industrial economy.

I'm afraid I know nothing about $B_3$ but here is my favourite construction of $\widetilde{\mathrm{SL}}_2(\mathbb{R})$.
The elements of $\widetilde{\mathrm{SL}}_2(\mathbb{R})$ are pairs $(A,f)$ where $$A=\left(\begin{array}{cc} a&b\\\ c&d \end{array}\right)\in\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{R})$$ and $f$ is a branch of $\log(cz+d)$ for $z$ in the upper half plane. We compose these as follows: $(A,f)(B,g)=(AB,h)$ where $$h(z)=f(Bz)+g(z)$$ and of course $Bz$ denotes the usual linear fractional transformation action of $B$ on $z$ in the upper half-plane.

This is only a partial answer to your question, concerning how to visualise the universal cover of $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$.
A nice picture of this group (together with a proof that it is not a matrix group) is given in Graeme Segal's lectures in the book Lectures on Lie groups and Lie algebras. Alas, the Google Books preview does not cover Segal's lectures and I don't have the book here with me in order to scan the nice picture he draws.
The bi-invariant metric on $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ is lorentzian and has constant negative sectional curvature. Its universal cover is the lorentzian analogue of hyperbolic space and in the Physics literature it goes by the name of (three-dimensional) anti de Sitter spacetime $\mathrm{AdS}_3$ and has been studied a lot.

Lettris is a curious tetris-clone game where all the bricks have the same square shape but different content. Each square carries a letter. To make squares disappear and save space for other squares you have to assemble English words (left, right, up, down) from the falling squares.
Boggle gives you 3 minutes to find as many words (3 letters or more) as you can in a grid of 16 letters. You can also try the grid of 16 letters. Letters must be adjacent and longer words score better. See if you can get into the grid Hall of Fame!
