Cultural Transmission in Mexican American Families: Considering Youth's Active Role in their Cultural Development
The adaptation and integration of the mainstream and ethnic culture are important processes to understand as they have been associated with immigrant and minority youth's adjustment and family dynamics. However, few studies focusing on youth's cultural experiences have explored youth's active role in their own cultural development, and even less have explored youth's role in influencing parents' cultural development. In the current dissertation, two studies addressed these issues by using a within-family longitudinal design to explore 246 Mexican American youth's role in their own and their families' cultural development. The first study examined the reciprocal associations in parents' and two offspring's cultural values to examine developmental differences in parent-youth socialization processes. Overall, the importance of mothers' values was highlighted as a significant predictor of increases in youths' values, five years later. In addition, Study 1 highlighted situations where youth play an active role in their parents' cultural development as youths' lower endorsement of respect for elders values was associated with increases in fathers' value endorsement, five years later. The second study explored the associations between youth's imitation and de-identification from parents and parent-youth incongruence in Mexican and Anglo cultural orientations. Youths' active role in their cultural development was underscored, as youths' reports of de-identifying from parents were linked to more incongruence in parent-youth Anglo orientations. Further, important family characteristics (i.e., parent-youth warmth and demographic similarities) were shown to predict youths' more imitation and less de-identification from parents.

Q.Plum tree not fruiting
My Victoria plum has loads of leaves but no fruit. It has fruited well previously, but as it is planted in the lawn, I wonder if lawn feed has affected it. Should I clear the grass from around it, and what feed should I use to put this right?

This article can help with reasons for non-fruiting: _URL_
I think it may definitely be the fertilizer from your lawn, which normally contains lots of nitrogen - this would result in lots of lush foliage growth with little to no blooms or fruit. You can usually offset the nitrogen by adding a phosphorus rich fertilizer, or bone meal, to the soil around your tree. Here is more information: _URL_

What's The Deal With This Ridiculous Yellow Turtle Found in India?
For the second time in just three months the Indian Forest Service has announced the discovery of a golden flapshell turtle.
Like a slice of cheese, a slab of butter, or the yolk of an egg, this zesty creature with its vivid yellow shell, head, and limbs looks good enough to eat - and has fast become an internet sensation.
While such aberrations of colour are rare in nature, this bizarre phenomenon is more common than many recognise.
Yellow variants of the Indian flapshell turtle (Lissemys punctata) - which typically are brown with yellow spots and a creamy white underside - have been discovered a handful of times over the years in various parts of South Asia, where it is one of the most common aquatic turtle species.
The genetic anomaly doesn't happen often, but when it does, it tends to stand out.
In 1997, a turtle with a uniformly yellow body and pink eyes was discovered in Gujarat on the west coast of India, and other similar examples are said to have been found in Myanmar and Bangladesh, although the data are unpublished.
Just this summer, a golden turtle was snapped in Odisha, an eastern Indian state, and when posted on Twitter, a wildlife biologist in India claimed to have found three such individuals the year before.
Even more recently, a paper was published on the first discovery of a golden flapshell found in Nepal.
While there's little information on the most recent finds, the phenomenon is thought to be caused by a lack of body pigmentation.
It's similar to pure albinism - a genetic disorder that causes a complete lack of pigments in the body - but instead of showing up completely white, in certain cases, yellow pteridine pigments can survive to dominate colour production (along with eye pigments).
This is known as chromatic leucism, and among turtles, researchers say it can produce the most "dazzling" colour variants.
While not exactly rare among flapshell turtles, researchers describe the phenomenon as "relatively uncommon".
In July, when the first golden turtle of the year went viral, herpetologists in India explained that in some cases, if a different pigment makes it through, this species can even appear red. That said, examples of such ruby-coloured turtles are almost impossible to find online.
But while turtles sporting such vivid hues might be cherished as viral phenomena and could be highly prised in the pet trade, in nature lacking your normal colouration can be quite the burden.
"For instance, a normally coloured L. punctata is much better camouflaged in the murky, greenish, aqueous environment the species frequents than a gold-coloured individual," explains the paper written on the Nepal discovery.
Very often, these golden creatures are'rescued' from their natural habitats and relocated to new areas or placed in captivity.
In this new case, the golden turtle was accidentally snared in a fishing net, and as herpetologist Sneha Dharwadkar explains on Twitter, this represents a problem.
"Its almost impossible to relocate flapshells anywhere because 1. they are found in most waterbodies…" she writes, "2. Most places have fishing."
"[W]e need to find an alternative to relocating flapshells," she adds
It's not easy being green, but apparently it's a lot harder being yellow.

Redisigning the Strategic Managment System in a Time of Fiscal Crisis in Lithuania
Keywords:public management reform, case study of Lithuania, fiscal crisis
AbstractThe aim of the article is to discuss different strategies of managing fiscal crisis and concomitant PM reforms to support austerity measures in Lithuania, underlining strategic management component in particular. The case study of Lithuania is presented and analysed seeking to distil some important conclusions and lessons learned. The Lithuanian government took the following approach to reform the strategic management system in a time of fiscal crisis: introduced effective mechanism to implement policy priorities, changed the way the budgets are allocated from appropriations to budgets based on results and priorities and attempted to enhance results based culture via reform of the civil service system. The Lithuanian government decided on a small handful of policy priorities and was relatively successful at establishing an effective mechanism for the formulation and implementation of these priorities, however, the efforts to introduce senior civil service as an important target group for advancing coordination and overcoming sectorial boundaries was not successful.

After modeling, elevations are not yet presentable. Lines will appear between walls and floors, and grade lines may not appear at the elevations. There are other ways to resolve the appearance of elevations, but please consider the following suggestions:
- If you are using an exterior cladding, make sure your floor sketch lines are on the outside line of the cladding, not the core.
- Paint the edge of the floor with the same material as your exterior cladding and then join the floors to the walls. Do not join and then paint, as your lines won't disappear. (If you did this, you can sometimes work around it by joining the walls above and below the floor together, and hitting ok when it warns that the objects do not touch one another.)
- Elevations looks best with the silhouetting turned on. Go into advance model graphics, and override the silhouette lines to Wide Lines.
- If you don't like some of the lines silhouetting, you can override them with the linework tool and the setting.
- Make sure your pad (which carves out a hole for your building in the terrain) is drawn to the outside of your cladding. This will ensure that a grade line appears on your elevations.

ABSTRACT

Abstract—Repeated subcube allocation and deallocation in hypercubes tend to cause fragmentation, which can be taken care of by task migration. Earlier task migration dealt with the establishment of a single path from each participating node for transmitting migrated information. The time required for migration with single paths is long, if a large amount of information is moved in hypercubes. This paper considers speedy task migration in that two disjoint paths are created between every pair of corresponding nodes for delivering migrated information simultaneously, reducing the size of data transmitted over a path. All migration paths selected are pairwise disjoint and contain no link of active subcubes, so that task migration can be performed quickly and on-line without interrupting the execution of other jobs. Our approach could lead to a considerable savings in the migration time for contemporary hypercube systems, where circuit switching or wormhole routing is implemented.

Problems and Prospects of Vegetables Gardening In Machchhegaun: A Case Study
Keywords:Vegetable gardening, landholding, production, income, crops, land
Agriculture production contributes 32.60 percent of GDP in which vegetable contribution is 9.7 percent in Nepalese economy. This article triesto find out the conditions and state of vegetable production and productivity, including problems and prospects of Machchhegaun, one of the villages of ward no. 7 of Kirtipur Municipality. This village is good for vegetable production due to suitable climate, good topography, fertile land and market accessibility. Of the total arable land, only 6.9 percent is for vegetable production. However, its yield is higher as compared to other staple food crops like paddy, maize and wheat. This apparently shows that there is higher potentiality of vegetable gardening which can be helpful to fulfill the requirements of vegetables to the growing population of Kirtipur Municipality. However the farmers are facing many problems like that of lacking technical knowledge, lack of improved seeds, fertilizer, agriculture equipments and financials supports.

Consider adding a calf cart to your maternity pen area. At Duo Dairy in Loveland, Colo., a small, hard-plastic cart is stored in the maternity area to assist employees and improve biosecurity. Here are a few ways it helps:
- The employees place fresh straw in the cart and have it nearby when a cow delivers. "If assistance is required, such as with dystocia births, the calf is delivered directly into the cart," says herd veterinarian Greg Goddell. This makes it easy to provide any extra assistance to the calf and limits the exposure to pathogens that may be in the hospital area.
- If a cow delivers on her own, the cart can ease an employee's job of moving the newborn to the calf facility. The cart can be wheeled right into the pen.
- If you are trying to avoid the spread of Johne's you can place the calf in the cart after delivery and allow the dam to clean the animal through a headlock. This stops the calf from suckling the dam and picking up Johne's from the environment.

Allowance for Funds Used During Construction
- (AFUDC)Construction activities may be financed from internally generated funds (primarily earnings retained in the business), or from funds provided by other external sources (short- and long-term debt). The allowance for funds used during construction is intended to recognize the cost of these funds dedicated to construction activities during the construction period. To arrive at the "allowance", a common procedural method makes use of a formula that is based on the assumption that short-term debt is the first source of construction funds. The cost rate for short-term debt is based on current costs. Since a utility plant is subject to depreciation, the allowance for funds used during construction is recovered in the form of depreciation from ratepayers over the service life of the plant to which it applies.

Observations during the last days of Sputnik I's orbiting are presented. These observations were made at The Ohio State University Radio Observatory using a simple CW reflection technique. The data suggest that the breakup of an artificial satellite upon its reentry into the denser atmosphere is a complex phenomenon in which a sequential series of events may occur over a period of days. Graphs of the average height of the satellite and its associated fragments as a function of time are presented, and some conclusions are drawn as to the details of the actual breakup phenomenon.

This isn't a special case. If you can post an answer that is useful and addresses the question and isn't just covering ground covered by other answers (on that question or another one), you should post it. Making a Stack Overflow answer useful usually (though not always) requires code, and code must be marked up properly. If you "can't" do that, don't post an answer. But you can do that.
should anyone refrain from answering if they can't format an answer, no matter the reason?
The only way a person can't format an answer is if the device they're using is missing a way to enter the necessary markdown formatting characters. I know of no such devices. (The only character I can think of that might be hard to find on a device is the backtick, which is only needed for inline code markup. Even on my ancient Samsung Galaxy [I dug it up], the backtick is readily accessible: I hit the button for symbols, and then the button for the second page of symbols, and there it is. But that's only needed for inline code; code blocks require nothing but spaces.)
So really, the question contains a logical fallacy. :-) It's asking what someone should do if they can't do X, when they can do X.
So, two answers:
No, don't post an answer if you cannot format the answer sufficiently. Perhaps post a comment suggesting what the answer might be.
Yes, you should post an answer (subject to the usual rules of usefulness) — because you can format it sufficiently.
Note that "sufficiently" needn't be all-singing, all-dancing. It may not be as thoroughly-formatted as you'd've done if you'd been sitting at a computer. But at a minimum, code must be marked up to be clear (four spaces per line, not challenging), and in general if clarity suffers for lack of formatting, that means said formatting is necessary.

pulse amplitude modulation (PAM)
Pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) is the transmission of data by varying the amplitude s ( voltage or power levels) of the individual pulses in a regularly timed sequence of electrical or electromagnetic pulses. The number of possible pulse amplitudes can be infinite (in the case of analog PAM), but it is usually some power of two so that the resulting output signal can be digital . For example, in 4-level PAM there are 2^2 possible discrete pulse amplitudes; in 8-level PAM there are 2^3 possible discrete pulse amplitudes; and in 16-level PAM there are 2^4 possible discrete pulse amplitudes.
In some PAM systems, the amplitude of each pulse is directly proportional to the instantaneous modulating-signal amplitude at the time the pulse occurs. In other PAM systems, the amplitude of each pulse is inversely proportional to the instantaneous modulating-signal amplitude at the time the pulse occurs. In still other systems, the intensity of each pulse depends on some characteristic of the modulating signal other than its strength, such as its instantaneous frequency or phase .
PAM is only one of several forms of pulse modulation. Other methods include varying the durations (or widths), the frequencies, the positions, or the intervals of the individual pulses in a sequence.

You can use the math Modulo node on mapping vectors to create tilling for procedural textures:
To tile them seamlessly you need to flip tiles in X and Y axis:
For the Tilling X and Y nodes use values between 0 and 1. And to tile them in 3D just copy the setup into Z channel.
Why Mapping node does not add tilling to procedural textures:
Mapping node does adjust tilling for Image textures. This is because image has finite dimensions and repeats itself - the tilling is already "build-in". The Mapping node only zooms, translates and rotates this tilled image.
Since procedural textures are infinite, they have no borders and are not tilled. The Mapping node will just transform them but not tile them.
How and why the math nodes work:
Texture mapping does transform texture space to object space - you can visualize it like this:
This is for Generated mapping, other types will be mapped differently. Generated mapping will map the <0,1> interval to object bounding box. Therefore it stretches with scaling the mesh, but it does not rotate with mesh rotating (edit mode). It does rotate with object since generated mapping will be always aligned with object's local coords. To bind the texture to mesh UV mapping must be chosen and mesh unwrapped to tangent space.
When we split the mapping vectors into XYZ channels, we get access to each axis and can manipulate it:
Lets focus only on single channel (all apply the same principles). Now we output what we get (in the marked rectangle). This can be visualized with a graph function:
What we need for tilling though is this graph:
This is a graph of a modulo function (precisely modulo 0.33..) and will create 3 tiles on each axis. It is mapping the output to the same input locations repeatedly.
To have it tile seamlessly and flip every odd tile lower the graph of half the curve height and make the values absolute:
You get double the tiles naturally.
There are many effects you can do with this:
Texture pixelation with rounding node: How to pixelate a texture in Cycles?
Image blurring with noising the vectors: Motion blur on texture

text: Laser nerve stimulation using near-infrared laser irradiation has recently been studied in the peripheral nervous system as an alternative method to conventional electrical nerve stimulation. Bringing this method to the vagus nerve model could leverage this emerging stimulation approach to be tested in broader preclinical applications. Here, we report the capability of the laser nerve stimulation method on the rat vagus nerve bundle with a 1505-nm diode laser operated in continuous-wave mode. Studies of the stimulation threshold and laser-induced acute thermal injury to the nerve bundle were also performed to determine a temperature window for safe, reliable and reproducible laser stimulation of the rat vagus nerve bundle. The results show that laser stimulation of the vagus nerve bundle provides reliable and reproducible nerve stimulation in a rat model. These results also confirm a threshold temperature of >42 degrees C with acute nerve damage observed above 46 degrees C. A strong correlation was obtained between the laser time required to raise the nerve temperature above the stimulation threshold and the mean arterial pressure response. Advantages of the method such as non-contact delivery of external stimulus signals at mm scaled distance in air, enhanced spatial selectivity and electrical artefact-free measurements may indicate its potential to counteract the side effects of conventional electrical vagus nerve stimulation.

NOTATION CONFUSION OF SYMMETRY SPECIES FOR MOLECULES WITH SEVERAL LARGE-AMPLITUDE INTERNAL MOTIONS
MetadataShow full item record
Publisher:Ohio State University
The Mulliken convention has become the standard notation for symmetry species (irreducible representations) of point groups for quasi-rigid molecules. No such convention exists for symmetry species of symmetry groups for semi-rigid or non-rigid molecules with large amplitude internal motions (LAMs). As a result, we have a situation where we create notations in a do-it-yourself fashion or adopt them from the literature, sometimes even without proper reference to its derivation or to the character table on which it is based. This may be just a nuisance for those who are comfortable enough with group theory and molecular symmetry groups to figure "it" out, but it represents a real problem for everybody else. The notation confusion is illustrated with examples from the literature (both old and new) on molecules with two or more LAMs. Most authors use the notation introduced by Myers and Wilson for molecules such as acetone or propane. No universal notation is in use for molecules with two methyl groups but lower overall symmetry. For example, the notation $G_1_8$ is used for one of these groups. As it turns out, different people use the same notation for different groups. This presentation is an attempt to bring some light into the dark and to combat confusion with a call for an anti-confusion convention.

Using a weight bearing CT (WBCT)-first approach for diagnosing syndesmotic instability is the most cost-effective…
A groundbreaking study that outlines a new semi-automatic tool that can be used to quantify hindfoot misalignment was recently published in Foot and Ankle International. Titled "3D Biometrics for Hindfoot Alignment Using Weightbearing CT", the study outlines a new 3D metric tool called Foot and Angle Offset (FAO).Use of this new tool eliminates many of the operator and anatomical biases that can negatively impact the accuracy of the 2D radiograph-based measurements of hindfoot alignment (HFA) that are currently in widespread use.
One of the researchers' achievements was finding a plausible way to use the forefoot instead of the tibia to measure HFA in clinical practice. Recent investigation has shown that use of the forefoot rather than the tibia as a reference in HFA measurements is a step forward in reducing anatomical bias related to measuring HFA projection and rotation. However, up until now use of the forefoot to measure HFA was too complicated for application in clinical practice using older, 2D methods. This study demonstrates that 3D processing of weightbearing CT data makes using the forefoot to measure HFA much more practical, representing one breakthrough in HFA measurement which could result in better outcomes for patients if further studies can validate FAO for clinical use.
An even more impressive achievement was that researchers established use of an entirely original, 3D analytical tool as an effective way to use data from weight-bearing CT to measure HFA. FAO is a measurement of the offset between the talus projection on the ground plane and the hind-foot-to-forefoot midline of the foot. Essentially, this is a 3D measurement of the severity of varus and valgus, which corresponds to the torque generated in the ankle through the combined actions of body weight and ground reaction force. The researchers set out to prove that the FAO calculated using weight-bearing CT data from clinically normal, varus, and valgus cases would be significantly different.
To test their hypothesis, the researchers performed a retrospective cohort study in which they processed existing weightbearing CT data, collected through the CurveBeam pedCAT system, through the new CurveBeam Torque Ankle Lever Arm System (TALAS), an automatic measurement tool capable of calculating FAO. The researchers' hypotheses were proven correct which establishes FAO as an efficient tool for measuring the severity of hindfoot malalignment using weight-bearing CT. The authors claim "the originality of this study lies in the description of an entirely new concept (3D biometrics) for measuring HFA that avoided projection, rotation, and operator errors related to traditional 2D methods."
The researchers did note several limitations to the study. First, there is no "gold standard" or "true" measurement of HFA, and typically HFA measurement reliability is found by assessing intra and inter-observer reliability. They also state that they did not compare their measurements with a traditional HFA measurement method such as the Saltzman view. Despite the study's limitations, researchers ultimately concluded that using 3D biometric software to asses FAO "may represent the way forward to make the best of [weight-bearing] CT."

BUMAX, a specialist in fastener manufacturing, has been selected to provide crucial fasteners to be used on the International Space Station (ISS).
BUMAX 88 fasteners will be used to secure a new payload going to the ISS to measure the speed of sound. These premium fasteners include some of the strongest in the world, commonly used in a variety of extremely demanding and cutting-edge scientific applications.
The space sector continues to benefit from the BUMAX fastener range for various applications. The extra-strong and fatigue-resistant Model 88 has been selected to securely fasten the housing of a new payload on the ISS called Granular Sound.
Granular Sound is an experiment in space to measure the speed of sound through a cube filled with glass balls (a so-called package) in microgravity at different package pressures. The experiment uses thousands of glass balls to simulate granular media like sand or concrete.
"The housing of this package will be securely fastened by BUMAX 88 fasteners to avoid the balls from flying around the ISS," said Lukas Pfeiffer, project manager and systems Engineer at OHB System AG. "The microgravity experiment will provide valuable data for various terrestrial and space applications – from more effective concrete processing to 3D printing in space or on the moon."
The customer is OHB System AG, is a subsidiary of the European space and technology group OHB SE, under contract of the European Space Agency (ESA). It is employing BUMAX's fasteners.
The enhanced properties of BUMAX 88 fasteners are achieved through a combination of unique BUMAX manufacturing processes and the highest quality European steel.
Monitoring the air quality for astronauts
Since January 2022, BUMAX 88 screws have also been used for the ANITA-2 trace gas monitoring system to ensure good air quality for the ISS astronauts. The system has been simultaneously measuring more than 40 gases every six minutes on the ISS. The system was developed by OHB System AG.
BUMAX 88 screws were used for the ANITA-2 payload to securely seal a safety containment and fasten crucial optical components.
"Being trusted with supplying fasteners for projects such as CERN and ISS, which are essential to the evolution of mankind, is of course a source of immense pride and a testament to the quality of our products and BUMAX as a whole," said Lars Holm, managing director, BUMAX. "Being chosen again and again for the most demanding applications means that all our existing and new customers can rest assured that they are getting the best of the best."
The International Space Station was launched in 1998 to gain more knowledge about space. It is crewed by up to seven people. The ISS orbits the Earth at an altitude of 400 kilometers and a speed of 28,000 km/h, which means it orbits the Earth every 90 minutes.

To determine the prevalence of prediabetes and diabetes among rural and urban Malaysians.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
This cross-sectional survey was conducted among 3,879 Malaysian adults (1,335 men and 2,544 women). All subjects underwent the 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).
The overall prevalence of prediabetes was 22.1% (30.2% in men and 69.8% in women). Isolated impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) were found in 3.4 and 16.1% of the study population, respectively, whereas 2.6% of the subjects had both IFG and IGT. Based on an OGTT, the prevalence of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes was 12.6% (31.0% in men and 69.0% in women). The prediabetic subjects also had an increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease risk factors.
The large proportion of undiagnosed cases of prediabetes and diabetes reflects the lack of public awareness of the disease.

Alpha-Bisabolol
Definition - What does Alpha-Bisabolol mean?
Sometimes called a-bisabolol, levomenol, or just bisabolol, alpha-bisabolol is a terpene. It's most commonly found in German chamomile, but can also be extracted from the bark of the candeia tree in South America. However, it's also a terpene in cannabis.
In addition to the smell and taste, alpha-bisabolol has been found to have many medicinal uses, including antibacterial benefits, wound healing, and even use as a deodorizer. There is ongoing research into its use as an anti-inflammatory, as well.
MaximumYield explains Alpha-Bisabolol
Most plants contain terpenes of various sorts. They're responsible for things like aroma and flavor. You'll also find them in some insects. Alpha-bisabolol is most commonly found in German chamomile, where it gives off a floral aroma and flavor. It can also be extracted from a South American tree, which is the primary source of alpha-bisabolol for the cosmetic industry.
Interestingly, it is also one of the 11 important terpenes, or "terps", found in marijuana.
There are many uses for terpenes in cannabis. One of those is to manipulate the taste and smell of particular strains. By mapping terpene levels, they can then be manipulated and adjusted to give the desired smell or taste. However, there are other important benefits from terpenes, including alpha-bisabolol.
Alpha-bisabolol is associated with a floral aroma in any plant where it is found, including certain strains of marijuana. The Oracle strain has been noted for having a very high concentration of this particular terpene.
As mentioned, there are actually 11 important terpenes found in cannabis. A few examples of others include delta 3 carene, linalool, borneol, alpha-pinene and eucalyptol. All have medicinal uses, in addition to their role in influencing aroma and flavor.

Could Not Initialize Photoshop Because The File Is Already In Use Or Was Left OpenQuestion in progress 0 3 Answers 0
Answers ( 3 )
Could Not Initialize Photoshop Because The File Is Already In Use Or Was Left Open
Photoshop is a powerful tool, but it can be temperamental. Not every file you try to open will work the first time, and that's because Photoshop is constantly using the files in the same way. In this blog article, we'll show you how to fix this common Photoshop problem and get your images up and running as quickly as possible. By following our tips, you'll avoid frustrating errors and get more out of your software.
What this message means
If you are having trouble opening a Photoshop file that you have just downloaded, there is a chance that the file is already in use or has been left open. To avoid this situation, make sure to close all other programs before opening your Photoshop file.
How to fix it
Often, when users try to open a Photoshop file that is already in use, or when they leave Photoshop open after using it, the program will not start. This can be frustrating and time-consuming to fix. In this tutorial, we will show you how to fix Photoshop not starting up by repairing permissions.
What to do if Photoshop is not opening
If you're using Photoshop on a PC and it doesn't seem to be opening, there are a few things you can check. First, make sure that the file is saved in the correct format. If you're using Adobe Photoshop CS6 or later, the file must be saved as an Adobe Photoshop (.psd) file. If you're using an earlier version of Photoshop, your file may be saved in a different format, like a JPEG or PNG image, and Photoshop won't be able to open it. Next, make sure that the file is closed properly. If you've just opened the file and it's already in use by another program on your computer, Photoshop won't be able to open it. Finally, if all else fails, try restarting your computer.
If you are having trouble trying to open a file that Photoshop is already using or if you have left Photoshop open and it could not initialize because the file is in use, there are several troubleshooting steps that you can take. First, try closing all other programs that may be using the same files. Second, try opening the file in another program such as Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape and saving it back to your computer. Finally, try reinstalling Photoshop. If none of these solutions work, please contact customer service for further assistance.
Photoshop is one of the most popular photo editing software programs available, but sometimes users may experience an issue when trying to open a file. An error message may appear stating "Could not initialize Photoshop because the file is already in use or was left open". This error occurs when a user attempts to open a file that has already been opened by another program or user in Photoshop, or if the file was left open after exiting Photoshop.
To resolve this error, you will need to close any other programs that are using the same file and make sure no other user is logged into your computer with an active Photoshop session. Additionally, you can try restarting your computer so that all processes and applications are completely shut down before attempting to access the same file again in Photoshop.
😐 Have you ever been in the middle of editing a photo in Photoshop and have the software tell you that it "Could Not Initialize Photoshop Because The File Is Already In Use Or Was Left Open"? It's one of the most annoying things that can happen when you're trying to get creative with your images.
The good news is that this issue can be fixed relatively easily with a few simple steps. In this blog post, we'll go over how to fix this issue and get you back to editing your photos in no time.
First, you'll need to figure out why Photoshop was unable to initialize in the first place. There are a few common causes for this issue and the most likely is that you didn't close the file properly. When working with large files, it's important to remember to save and close the file before exiting Photoshop.
If you're sure that you closed the file properly, then the issue might be related to another program or process that's using the file. To check for this, open the Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del) and look under the "Processes" tab. Look for any processes that are using the same file or files as the one you're trying to open in Photoshop and end those processes.
If neither of these solutions works, then you may need to restart your computer. This should free up any resources that are being held by the file and allow you to open it in Photoshop.
Once you've restarted, try opening the file again in Photoshop. If the issue persists, contact Adobe Support or your local IT department for further assistance.
We hope this guide was able to help you resolve the "Could Not Initialize Photoshop Because The File Is Already In Use Or Was Left Open" issue. If you have any other questions about using Photoshop, feel free to reach out and we'll be happy to help. 🤗

Can You Put Rubber Tires On the Power Wheels
Yes, replacing plastic tires with rubber tires in a power wheel is a great idea. You can buy a set of rubber tires and put them on your power wheels for better performance.
Some of the problems you may face with regular plastic tires in your power wheels are:
 - Slippery: Plastic tires are slippery and don't have much traction. It makes them riskier to drive.
 - Less durable: Plastic tires are more susceptible to breaking. That's why they are less durable than rubber tires.
 - Noisy: Plastic tires are made of stiff materials, which makes them noisy.
 - Not enough grip: Plastic tires don't have a good grip. It makes it harder to move with ease off-road or on snow.
These are some common problems you may face with plastic tires. But your rubber tires usually do not have such issues. Hence, you can always put rubber tires on your power wheels.
The best thing about replacing the tire is that you do not need any special skills. Replace the plastic tires with rubber tires in the same way you would have set plastic tires.
Do they make rubber tires for power wheels?
Yes, many tire brands make rubber tires for power wheels. However, they are not widely available as only a few models are specifically made for power wheels.
However, there are a lot of tires available in the market for off-road vehicles. You can buy any of them if they match the size of your power wheels. They are always suitable to use with toy vehicles.
Why don't power wheels have rubber tires?
Why don't Power Wheels have Rubber Tires
Power wheels do not have built-in rubber tires due to cutting costs. Rubber tires are usually costlier than rubber tires.
That's why companies use plastic tires for power wheels. It keeps the price of the vehicle low, which helps them attract more customers.
Rubber Tires On Power Wheels: Benefits
Rubber tires have a lot of benefits over plastic tires. Some of them are:
 - Excellent traction: Rubber tires have excellent traction. It helps the driver to move the power wheels with more ease and control.
 - Less noise: The rubber material causes less noise while driving, which makes the playing experience better.
 - Enough grip: Rubber tires have enough grip to run smoothly on any terrain. Kids mostly go off-road, on grassy tracks or muddy tracks with power wheels. The rubber tire helps to avoid slipping on such trails due to having a good grip.
 - Long lasting: Rubber tires do not break easily like plastic tires. That is why they can offer long-lasting performance.
Conclusion
You can always upgrade built-in plastic tires with good quality rubber tires in your power wheels. I hope all of your confusion is clear, and now you know that rubber tires are better for your kid's off-road toy vehicle.

Return the abelian variety that this endomorphism ring is attached to.
EXAMPLES:
sage: J0(11).endomorphism_ring().abelian_variety()
Abelian variety J0(11) of dimension 1
discriminant()#
Return the discriminant of this ring, which is the discriminant of the trace pairing.
Note
One knows that for modular abelian varieties, the endomorphism ring should be isomorphic to an order in a number field. However, the discriminant returned by this function will be \(2^n\) ( \(n =\) self.dimension()) times the discriminant of that order, since the elements are represented as 2d x 2d matrices. Notice, for example, that the case of a one dimensional abelian variety, whose endomorphism ring must be ZZ, has discriminant 2, as in the example below.

image_of_hecke_algebra(check_every=1)#
Compute the image of the Hecke algebra inside this endomorphism subring.
We simply calculate Hecke operators up to the Sturm bound, and look at the submodule spanned by them. While computing, we can check to see if the submodule spanned so far is saturated and of maximal dimension, in which case we may be done. The optional argument check_every determines how many Hecke operators we add in before checking to see if this condition is met.
INPUT:
 - check_every – integer (default: 1) If this integer is positive, this integer determines how many Hecke operators we add in before checking to see if the submodule spanned so far is maximal and saturated.

Can a regularisation of the determinant be used to find the eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian in the normal infinite dimensional setting of QM?
Edit: I failed to make myself clear. In finite dimensions, there is a function of $\lambda$ whose roots are the eigenvalues (or inverses of the eigenvalues) of a given operator $U$, namely, the characteristic polynomial $\det (I-\lambda U)$. Is there some way of regularising this determinant to do the same thing in infinite dimensions? In general? Or at least for unitary operators which describe the time evolution of a quantum mechanical system?
link to a related question What does a unitary transformation mean in the context of an evolution equation?
EDIT: Perhaps the question still is not clear. The question was, and still is, ¿if you regularise $\det(I-\lambda U)$ as a complex valued function of $\lambda$, for $U$ a unitary operator, will its zeroes be the values of $\lambda$ such that $I-\lambda U$ fails to be invertible? ¿Has a non-zero kernel? ¿Or does regularising the determinant lose touch with that property of the finite dimensional determinant?

Can you please clarify the question? Do you mean, can you discretize the Schrordinger eigenvalue problem to a finite dimensional system, and then find the eigenvalues E of the finite dimensional matrix M using det(M-EI)=0, and recover the correct levels E in the limit that the dimension of the system goes to infinity? – Ron Maimon Jan 3 '12 at 8:37
That would be the best possible answer, but I could settle for less. I'll try to rephrase the question, too. – joseph f. johnson Jan 3 '12 at 8:50
Then your question is not about the determinant at all, but about regulating the Schrodinger operators computationally. This is very easy to do, it is normal in computational studies, but I am not sure how much is rigorously known about the continuum limit. – Ron Maimon Jan 3 '12 at 12:35
I don't know why you say "regularizing". I gave you the "regularized" form below. I think you mean something different, "regularization" means putting the theory on a lattice, or breaking the continuum limit some other way, like doing an infinite sum with additional factors. You are asking whether the determinants converges after appropriate rescaling in the large L small $\epsilon$ limit to a unique function of $\lambda$, and it might, for the appropriate class of potentials. Zeta-function regularization is often used. Convergence isn't necessary for PI. – Ron Maimon Jan 4 '12 at 18:12
I don't know whether this makes a difference, except in grammar, but I did not say « regularising », I said « regularisation », and that is because that is the normal word for altering the definition of a divergent function (or integral) to make it convergent yet still agree with the original if the original were convergent. E.g. zeta function regularisation of the determinant. Lattice methods are one method of regularisation but not the only one. AFAIK, the zeta function regularisation doesnt work for the characteristic poly, and even if it did, wouldnt have the eigenvalues as roots. – joseph f. johnson Jan 4 '12 at 22:12

The continuum eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the Schrodinger operator are the limiting low-lying eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the discrete lattice approximations. Given a Schrodinger operator
$$ H= \sum_i A_i \partial_i^2 + V(x_1,....,x_n) $$
Where V is of the appropriate class (smooth is too restrictive--- you can have delta functions too, and random potentials, but I don't know the best possible function class--- it might be any integrable potential, i.e., any potential at all EDIT: of course it can't, as the -1/r^n energy levels run away to be localized on top of the attractive spot. The correct condition on the potential is involved, but you can take it to be continuous for this discussion), you replace the x's by a square lattice of spacing $\epsilon$ and of total size L in each direction with periodic boundaries, replace the $\nabla_i$ by the lattice $\nabla_i$
$$ (H_L \psi) (x) = \sum_i {A_i\over \epsilon^2} (\psi(x_i + \epsilon) - 2\psi(x_i) + \psi(x_{i-1})) + V_L(x) \psi(x) $$
Where V_L(x) is the integral over one lattice volume of the continuum V(x) in an $\epsilon$ box centered at x, and the discrete second derivative is the difference between the forward difference and the backward difference.
Then the approximately smooth low lying eigenvectors of $H_L$ converge to the eigenvalues of H in the continuum limit, and as for the high eigenvectors, who cares, these are lattice artifacts. I am sure that it is possible to prove all this rigorously, although from the physical point of view, if it were not the case, the Schrodinger equation would be physically suspect.
You can see the convergence on a computer, if you simulate a discretized Schrodinger operator. You can prove the convergence of the discrete to continuous propagator relatively easily from the path integral. For the individual eigenvalues and eigevectors, things will be somewhat more involved. If you want a mathematical proof, I can try to sketch one.
EDIT: Determinant formula
If you look at the eigenvalue equation for the finite dimensional operator $H_L$,
$$det(H_L - \lambda I)$$
you find a finite degree polynomial, whose zeros are the eigenvalues of the equation in the limit $\epsilon\rightarrow 0$, $L\rightarrow\infty$.
share|cite|improve this answer
You mean $det(H_L - \lambda I)$. This is a finite degree polynomial in $\lambda$ whose eigenvalues are those of $H_L$. – Ron Maimon Jan 3 '12 at 23:16
you seem to be saying that it is the set of zeroes which has a limit? Not the polynomial? – joseph f. johnson Jan 3 '12 at 23:55
_USER_: yes--- it is not obvious that the polynomial is converging, but for sure the zeros are. But when you get a certain set of zeros, you can write an Euler product formula and make an analytic function which has these zeros, and perhaps this gives a unique correct continuum notion of infinite dimensional determinant, I am not sure. I always think of it regulated. – Ron Maimon Jan 4 '12 at 7:06
It seems, then, that the answer to my question is « no », but you are not sure. – joseph f. johnson Jan 4 '12 at 8:27
_USER_: The answer seems to be yes, I didn't work out the limit of the polynomial, but an analytic function is usually specified by its infinite set of zeros and some additional constraints, like a polynomial of infinite degree. I am not sure under what conditions the convergence is guaranteed, and convergence of the determinant is not necessary for any of the physics results, but the mathematical topic is Fredholm theory. – Ron Maimon Jan 4 '12 at 8:39
As you have already mentioned, there are many ways to understand'regularization' and it is not very often connected with discrete limit - rather, these are dirty tricks to give a meaning to certain sums/integrals which are clearly divergent. Here, the problem is different - we do not know a priori WHAT should be this divergent object - to have divergence we have to have a limit and we have no limit so far. So, the question is rather about the definitnion than about'regularization' which might be necessary in later steps.
So, i may suggest a definition - we have an identity for finite dimensional operators (let us assume U unitary), : $det(I-\lambda U) = exp(Tr(ln(I-\lambda U))$. This is always correct - because $I-\lambda U $ is normal and therefore diagonalizable.
We can expand ln in Taylor series around 1 to obtain (ordinary Taylor series when U is in eigenbasis, no problems with radius of convergence when looked upon U - as modulus of all U's eigenvalues is 1).
$$ det(I-\lambda U) = exp(- \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{\lambda^n}{n} Tr\, (U^n) ) $$
Now we have an expression explicitly containing a limit and at the same time well defined for U an operator in finite dimensional complex Hilbert space. Note, that the appearance of limit is a side-effect, not intentional. Now, we can ask if this expression makes sense when our space becomes infinite-dimensional. There are theorems that state, that if U is bounded (that is $\exists_{M>0}: \forall_{v \in V}\,\, ||U v||\leq M \, ||v|| $) and trace-class (so that trace always exists and is finite) the above formula is well defined in infinite dimensional case.

This is the third instalment of my article on the iron balconies of Bucharest's period buildings. In Part 1 I presented considerations on the large scale adoption in this city, starting with the third quarter of the 19th century, of the iron balcony as a functional and decorative architectural element and detailed its typology using examples that adorn buildings in Bucharest's historic quarters. In Part 2 of the article I discussed the pear shaped wrought iron balcony, the most spectacular and conspicuous balcony type in Bucharest, that had its heydays during the last decade of the 19th and first decade of the 20th centuries, beautifying the Little Paris style buildings erected in Bucharest and all over Romania during that period.
In this post I present in an approximately chronological order examples of UPRIGHT-FENCE iron balconies as they emerged in late 19th century Bucharest to the 4th decade of the 20th century.
I found in my research for the article that for Bucharest the oldest type of iron balcony is the cast iron one. A number houses in Lipscani historic quarter, that architecturally are among the oldest in that area, their facades dating from 1870s, perhaps earlier, have such cast iron balconies. The chunkiness of cast iron ornaments gives them a special charm and because the rarity of this balcony type in Bucharest, it adds to the value of a period property.
However, the wrought iron balcony emerges as the most popular type in Bucharest because of the versatility of that material, enabling the designer to create flamboyant and intricate decorations. Also a wrought iron balcony is easier to adapt to the building facade limitations or particularities, an important aspect in a labyrinthine city such as old Bucharest; see the following example of a wrought iron balcony on a round street corner facade.
In other instances the balcony consisted of corner pillars linked by decorative fences as seen in the following example from Lipscani.
As with their pear shaped counterparts, the upright-fence balconies displayed a wealth of imaginative patterns and in many instances had the monogram of the house owner displayed at the centre of the front panel.
In other examples, the decorative theme of the balcony is used throughout the whole facade of the period building as a key integrative architectural solution.
The Art Deco balconies, represent the third generation of such architectural artefacts in Bucharest, succeeding the cast and wrought iron Little Paris style ones. Bucharest contains many such hidden gems, as in the following images:
The last generation of iron balconies in period Bucharest is that that adorns the Neo-Romanian style buildings, the only grass root architectural order that emerged in Romania (see my guide explaining the origins and feature of this remarkable style). The iron balconies were imaginatively adapted to the proportions and decorative themes of the Neo-Romanian style and became part of Bucharest architectural landscape especially in the third and fourth decade of the 20th century.
The Second World War and the subsequent communist takeover put an end to the evolution and emergence of new exquisite types of iron balconies in Bucharest and the rest of Romania. The architecture became utilitarian, concerned with satisfying the huge need of social housing for the masses of people that moved from countryside to towns, employed in the communist sponsored heavy industry. The fine architecture for domestic buildings became a thing of the past, with Bucharest's skyline now dominated by vast quarters of unsightly grey apartment blocks.
The iron balconies represent an architectural treasure unfortunately not much prized by the actual inhabitants of this city. They and also the Bucharest authorities have little time and understanding for historical architecture and period properties, the main priorities being to erect non-descript, modern buildings that further damage Bucharest's heritage and its urban landscape. To properly prize that heritage requires a deeper cultural understanding, which at this point in time is in short supply among a majority of Bucharest's citizens, victims of the decades long communist cultural brain-wash. However, hope is not lost as there is a nascent gradual realisation, seen in a series of notable recent renovation and restoration works in Bucharest, that the period buildings together with their old iron balconies should be valued in their multiple role as heritage edifices, fine artistic and architectural statements and precious real estate assets that can also increase the attraction and tourist potential of the city. ©Valentin Mandache

Proposal: make Glib::Property much more flexible
Hello,
Currently Glib::Properties are limited by being required to be direct data members of the containing class object. Unfortunately, this makes impossible to use Glib::Property in most exported C++ APIs as additions or removals of Glib::Property members break the ABI. The issue could be solved by using the PIMPL idiom, but as of now this is not possible.
The direct data member requirement arises from the way property ids are used to map to property wrappers. At the moment we depend on the layout of objects of some type always having the same layout, which is guaranteed by the C++ standard. This allows us to define the property id as the offset of the property wrapper sub-object from the start of the parent object.
I propose to depend on a different invariant that would greatly increase the flexibility of Glib::Property and would allow to use them as members of PIMPL structs. C++ standard guarantees that all sub-objects of the given class are always initialized in the same order. We can employ this to define the property id as the number of already (re)installed properties during the construction of the current object. The addresses of the property wrappers could be stored in a separate, per object array. The property id could be used to retrieve the address of the property wrapper from that array.
We actually use this approach already for properties that are overridden by interfaces (see commit ce20003fd in glibmm). In this email I propose to use the same mechanics for non-overridden properties too.
This way the direct data member limitation would be lessened to only requiring the user to always construct the same number of properties in the same order, which wouldn't be an issue in almost all cases. In particular, the PIMPL idiom could be used for properties too.
If there's consensus among glibmm developers that this is a reasonable improvement, I volunteer to implement a patch and test it extensively.
All the best,
Povilas

How to convert from Flutter to Ionic + Angular
Converting from Flutter to Ionic + Angular can appear daunting at first, but with a systematic approach, it becomes manageable. Below, we will delve into the key steps and considerations, optimized for those proficient in Flutter but not as experienced with Ionic and Angular.
Understanding the Differences Between Flutter and Ionic + Angular
Before diving into the technical aspects, it's essential to understand the fundamental differences between Flutter and Ionic + Angular:
 - Framework: Flutter is a UI toolkit based on the Dart programming language. On the other hand, Ionic is a hybrid framework using HTML, CSS, and Angular for mobile and web apps.
 - Components: Flutter uses its own custom widgets, while Ionic uses standard web technologies along with customizable components.
 - State Management: Flutter often utilizes systems like Provider or Bloc, whereas Angular applications leverage RxJS and services.
Setting Up the Ionic + Angular Project
The first step in conversion is to set up a new Ionic + Angular project. You need to have Node.js and npm installed on your system to proceed.
npm install -g @ionic/cli
ionic start myApp blank --type=angular
cd myApp
Migrating UI Components
In Flutter, UI components are primarily created using widgets. In Ionic + Angular, we rely on HTML templates and Angular components.
Converting Flutter Widgets to Ionic Components
Consider a simple Flutter widget:
class MyWidget extends StatelessWidget {
 @override
 Widget build(BuildContext context) {
 return Container(
 color: Colors.blue,
 child: Text('Hello Flutter'),
 );
 }
}
The equivalent in Ionic + Angular would be:
<ion-content>

 Hello Ionic + Angular

</ion-content>
This HTML structure utilizes Ionic's ion-content which is akin to Flutter's Container.
Handling Navigation
Flutter uses a Navigator for route management, whereas Ionic + Angular use Angular Router for navigation.
Converting Flutter Navigator Routes
Example Flutter code:
Navigator.push(
 context,
 MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => SecondScreen()),
);
Equivalent code in Ionic + Angular:
First, define your routes in app-routing.module.ts:
const routes: Routes = [
 {
 path: '',
 component: HomePage
 },
 {
 path: 'second-screen',
 component: SecondScreenComponent
 }
];
Next, navigate programmatically with Angular Router:
import { Router } from '@angular/router';
constructor(private router: Router) {}
this.router.navigate(['/second-screen']);
State Management Conversion
In Flutter, state management can vary widely (e.g., using setState, Provider, or Bloc). In Angular, state is often managed using services and RxJS for reactive programming.
Converting a Simple State Management
Consider this Flutter code to increase a counter:
class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
 int _counter = 0;
 void _incrementCounter() {
 setState(() {
 _counter++;
 });
 }
 @override
 Widget build(BuildContext context) {
 return Scaffold(
 appBar: AppBar(
 title: Text("Flutter Counter"),
 ),
 body: Center(
 child: Column(
 mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
 children: <Widget>[
 Text("$_counter", style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.headline4)
 ],
 ),
 ),
 floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
 onPressed: _incrementCounter,
 tooltip: "Increment",
 child: Icon(Icons.add),
 ),
 );
 }
}
Equivalent Angular code would look like this:
Create a service counter.service.ts:
import { BehaviorSubject } from 'rxjs';
export class CounterService {
 private counter = new BehaviorSubject(0);
 currentCounter = this.counter.asObservable();
 incrementCounter() {
 this.counter.next(this.counter.value + 1);
 }
}
Use the service in the component:
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { CounterService } from './counter.service';
@Component({
 selector: 'app-home',
 template: '
 <ion-header>
 <ion-toolbar>
 <ion-title>Ionic Counter</ion-title>
 </ion-toolbar>
 </ion-header>
 <ion-content>

{{ counter }}

 <ion-fab>
 <ion-fab-button (click)="increment()">
 <ion-icon name="add"></ion-icon>
 </ion-fab-button>
 </ion-fab>

 </ion-content>
 '
})
export class HomePage {
 counter: number;
 constructor(private counterService: CounterService) {
 this.counterService.currentCounter.subscribe(
 counter => this.counter = counter
 );
 }
 increment() {
 this.counterService.incrementCounter();
 }
}
Conclusion
Converting from Flutter to Ionic + Angular involves a series of straightforward but detailed steps. By understanding the components, navigation, and state management practices in both frameworks, you can adeptly migrate your existing Flutter application into an Ionic + Angular project. While the tools and syntax may differ, the underlying principles of building reactive, user-friendly applications remain consistent.

I'm drawing the bloxplot shown below using python and matplotlib. Is there any way I can reduce the distance between the two boxplots on the X axis?
enter image description here
This is the code that I'm using to get the figure above:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib import rcParams
rcParams['ytick.direction'] = 'out'
rcParams['xtick.direction'] = 'out'
fig = plt.figure()
xlabels = ["CG", "EG"]
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.boxplot([values_cg, values_eg])
ax.set_xticks(np.arange(len(xlabels))+1)
ax.set_xticklabels(xlabels, rotation=45, ha='right')
fig.subplots_adjust(bottom=0.3)
ylabels = yticks = np.linspace(0, 20, 5)
ax.set_yticks(yticks)
ax.set_yticklabels(ylabels)
ax.tick_params(axis='x', pad=10)
ax.tick_params(axis='y', pad=10)
plt.savefig(os.path.join(output_dir, "output.pdf"))
And this is an example closer to what I'd like to get visually (although I wouldn't mind if the boxplots were even a bit closer to each other):

Try changing the aspect ratio using
ax.set_aspect(1.5) # or some other float
The larger then number, the narrower (and taller) the plot should be:
a circle will be stretched such that the height is num times the width. aspect=1 is the same as aspect='equal'.

share|improve this answer

I chose this as the answer because setting the aspect is really what I was missing, but in the end the solution also implied changing the boxes' width, as per @tcaswell's answer. – Filipe Correia May 2 '13 at 12:00
You can either change the aspect ratio of plot or use the width kwarg (doc) as such:
ax.boxplot([values_cg, values_eg], width=1)
to make the boxes wider.
share|improve this answer
When your code writes:
ax.set_xticks(np.arange(len(xlabels))+1)
You're putting the first box plot on 0 and the second one on 1 (event though you change the tick labels afterwards), just like in the second, "wanted" example you gave they are set on 1,2,3. So i think an alternative solution would be to play with the xticks position and the xlim of the plot.
for example using
ax.set_xlim(-1.5,2.5)
would place them closer.
share|improve this answer

This was the first approach that I've tried, but without much luck. I think the reason is that the space between ticks is always relative to the space that is available. So, if I move the ticks closer to the origin, more space will be available to the right, and the plot will be "zoomed in" too take the available space. As to xlim(), it only allows to control the space from the ticks to the origin, not the space between ticks. – Filipe Correia May 2 '13 at 11:56
