(and generally we now have to test all those new RC3 versions with all the features and on the longer term since some internal things have dramatically changed as a result of those supplementary compiler optimizations).And in the end a quick reference to power consumption - I can only measure (with some margin of error) the CPU USAGE and not the actual power consumption, BUT in the Texas Instruments original PDF manual there was a list on the actual power subject, with a very wide range from one extreme to another - from time/date mode listed around 27.7 months of battery life (which is now probably closer to 26-24 given the thermo-compensation) down to an extreme 8 days of continuous SimpliciTI SYNC and only 2 days in continuous SimpliciTI ACC!!! The stopwatch mode is also a serious consumer in the first 20 minutes (when the 1/100 of seconds are shown and some parts of the display are updated 100 times each second), but after that it gets to a decent level - and the same decent level is also seen when the sidereal time is displayed on the bottom line - I would say certainly over 12 months of battery life even in this mode all the time (but that could also be 18 or even 24, unfortunately I do not have right now any way to precisely measure that). The CPU usage of course drops to normal soon (at most one minute) after you exit sidereal time.Thehave not been changed and can be found at:The(still 3 files right now in each archive, might later become 4 with the full ASTRO firmware) can be found at:And finally the timezones currently defined in the two firmware versions which have them - that is needed only if you want to write the persistent configuration in the INFO flash as described in the post at:(there are two separate lists, first for the 'only timezones' - or just manual DST - bluerobin stopwatch firmware, the second one for the full 'WorldTime/DST firmware)!<|endoftext|>Benefits of boarding home placement in patients with schizophrenia.
To determine if boarding home placement of patients with schizophrenia decreases the need for acute inpatient treatment, during and after the placement. Data was collected from the medical records of 74 patients initially diagnosed with schizophrenia in our hospital from July 2001 to June 2002. The progress of these patients was then tracked until February 2005. Data gathered was analyzed for standard deviation, correlations, paired sample test and t test two-tailed analysis. Of those patients, 35 had no boarding home (BH) placement and used our inpatient services with a frequency of 1.1 day a month on average. Another 20 patients were placed in a BH after an average period often months without placement in a BH. During the pre-BH period they needed more acute inpatient care (3.3 versus 1.1 day/month) than patients that did not receive BH services (P < 0.0003). Following BH placement, these 20 patients spent an average of 14 months in a BH requiring only 0.34 days/month of inpatient treatment. On discharge from the BH, for the next eleven months they needed only 0.22 days/month of inpatient services. This rate of hospitalization was less than that of the same patients before BH placement (P = 0.0003) and patients that were not placed in a BH (P < 0.001). The remaining 19 patients were lost to follow-up, likely as result of their travel patterns. The patients who received BH care required fewer days of hospitalization than the same patients in the pre-BH period and fewer days of hospitalization than the patients who did not receive BH care. This effect persisted for at least 11 months after leaving the boarding home.<|endoftext|>TKO (Knock You Out)

"TKO (Knock You Out)" is a song written by Lars Erlandsson, Fredrik Lenander and Paul Rein, and performed by the Swedish pop girl group, Bubbles at Melodifestivalen 2003. From the fourth semifinal in the town of Sundsvall, the song made it through Tittarnas val, to the finals inside the Stockholm Globe Arena, where it ended up ninth. The song was also released as a single., peaking at 7th position at the Swedish singles chart.

The song received a Svensktoppen test on 6 April 2003, but failed to enter chart.

In this section, we evaluate our search algorithm on the One-Shot search space [[([@bender2018understanding])]{}]{} to find efficient architectures for ImageNet classification [[([@russakovsky2015imagenet])]{}]{}. To compare against their results, we target model size. We use the same search space instantiation — 8 cells, 4 blocks per cell, separable convolutions, and downsampling every 2 cells. We merge the outputs of each path with a concat aggregator. Despite increasing the number of parameters, the concat aggregator does not increase the base accuracy of the supernetwork. The search space is illustrated in Fig. \[search-space\](a) — note that we apply masks on operator outputs as well as on individual convolutions that compose the operator. Our reproduction of their supernetwork matches their published results.

The mask-logits variables $\nu$ are initialized to $2.5$ ($\hpi \approx 0.92$). We set $\tau = 0.001$ without annealing and use our relaxation of $\hemm$ for both forward and backward passes. To learn architectures of different sizes, we vary the regularization coefficient $\lambda$. For, we train for 100 epochs using ADAM with batch size 512 and learning rate 1.6 decayed by 0.5 every 35 epochs. For retraining, we use the same settings, except we train until convergence (400 epochs) and double the batch size and learning rate (1024 and 3.2, resp.) for faster convergence [[([@smith2017don])]{}]{}.

\[imagenet-table\]

Fig. \[imagenet-fig\] shows the performance of against the One-Shot algorithm and random search. Table \[imagenet-table\] shows our results compared with other mobile classification models. Our search algorithm outperforms both random search and the One-Shot search algorithm, and achieves state-of-the-art top-1 accuracy in the mobile regime across several mobile NAS baselines, outperforming EfficientNet-B0 and MobileNetV3. Our search time is comparable with other DNAS methods and significantly faster than MnasNet, which supplies the base network for MobileNetV3 and EfficientNet. Note that our full search space has 78.5% top-1 accuracy on ImageNet which is an upper bound on the performance of our sub-networks. Although this upper bound is well below state-of-the-art ImageNet accuracy, we are still able to produce state-of-the-art small-models.

Comparing Search Spaces {#sec-comparing}
-----------------------

We investigate whether certain search spaces are suited for particular computational costs and provide evidence in favor. A rigorous study would require enumerating and evaluating all searchable subnetworks on each space, which is infeasible. Instead, [[([@sciuto2019evaluating; @radosavovic2019network])]{}]{} study the efficiency of search spaces by randomly sampling architectures. This analysis is useful in determining the inherent advantages of each search space independently of the search algorithm being used. However, search algorithms may be biased toward particular sub-spaces of architectures based on the specific cost targeted during search [[([@gordon2018morphnet])]{}]{} and uniform sampling may not capture this bias. Therefore, in addition to random sampling, it may be useful to compare search spaces via the performance of a search algorithm under different cost objectives.

We investigate with FBNet [[([@wu2019fbnet])]{}]{} since its construction significantly differs from the One-Shot search space and similar constructions are used in other works [[([@howard2019searching; @mei2020atomnas])]{}]{}. We use FLOPs as a second metric of interest. To make a meaningful comparison between search spaces, we first verify that matches the performance of FBNet search as shown in Table \[fbnet-imagenet\] (left).[^2] We then run with both FLOPs and size costs on One-Shot and FBNet search spaces as shown in Table \[fbnet-imagenet\] (right). finds more parameter-efficient networks in the One-Shot search space and FLOPs-efficient networks in the FBNet search space by significant margins.

[r]{}[0.5]{}

![image](figures/fig_resnet.png){width="40.00000%"}

 on ResNet Search Space {#sec-resnet}
-----------------------

We compare the performance of with (1) width multiplier, a commonly used compression heuristic that uniformly scales down the number of filters in each layer [[([@howard2017mobilenets])]{}]{} and (2) MorphNet, a deterministic model compression technique which uses $\ell_1$ regularization to induce sparsity [[([@gordon2018morphnet])]{}]{}. We use MorphNet as a baseline since it can target various computational costs and [[([@mei2020atomnas])]{}]{} use a similar $\ell_1$ technique.

Fig. \[resnet\] shows our results on ResNet-50 and ResNet-152 on ImageNet. On both networks, outperforms width multiplier and performs on par with MorphNet.

Mobile Object Detection {#sec-detection}
-----------------------

In this section, we demonstrate the performance of our ImageNet-learned architectures as backbones for mobile object detection, using the SSDLite meta-architecture [[([@sandler2018mobilenetv2])]{}]{} designed for small models. We connect the output of cell 5 (stride 16) to the first layer of the feature extractor and output of the final 1x1 before global pool (stride 32) to the second layer. We compare against MobileNets and MnasNet which both use SSDLite.

\[detection\]

Our results are shown in Table \[detection\]. We achieve a +4 mAP margin over MobileNetV3. Note that instead of transferring ImageNet-learned architectures, we could also apply our search method to learn the backbone directly on the detection dataset, using differentiable relaxations of search spaces designed for detection such as [[([@chen2019detnas])]{}]{}. This would likely produce more efficient architectures and is left as future work.

On Convergence and Reducing Runtime {#sec-convergence}
-----------------------------------

[r]{}[0.5]{}

\[convergence\]

We explore the limits of reducing the sample-complexity of the architecture learning phase. Given a target model size, we explore the trade-off between running for longer with a weak $\lambda$ and converging faster with strong $\lambda$. We demonstrate with two different target sizes (2M and 5M params). The results are shown in Fig. \[convergence\]. In both cases, we can truncate to 40 epochs with negligible drop in accuracy, reducing the runtime of our search by 2.5x. Searching for only 20 epochs reduces model quality by 0.5-1% but results in a 2x speedup over the One-Shot method while still producing better models.

Conclusion
==========

We present a fine-grained differentiable architecture search method which stochastically samples sub-networks and discovers well-performing models that minimize resource constraints such as memory or FLOPs. While most DNAS methods select from a fixed set of operations, our method modifies operators during optimization, thereby searching a much larger set of architectures. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on two contemporary DNAS search spaces [[([@wu2019fbnet; @bender2018understanding])]{}]{} and produce SOTA small models on ImageNet. While most NAS works focus on FLOPs or latency, there is significant practical benefit for low-memory models in both server-side and on-device applications.

can be applied to any model or search space by inserting a mask-sampling layer after every convolution. Due to its small search cost, our method can learn efficient architectures for any task or dataset on-the-fly.

Broader Impact {#broader-impact.unnumbered}
==============

Deep models have been doubling in size every few months since 2012, and have a large carbon footprint, see [[([@Strubell_2019; @schwartz2019green])]{}]{}. Moreover state-of-the-art models are often too large to deploy on low-resource devices limiting their uses to flagship mobile devices that are too expensive for most consumers. By automating the design of models that are lightweight and consume little energy, and doing so with an algorithm that is also lightweight and adaptive to different constraints, our community can make sure that the fruits of ML/A.I. are shared more broadly with society, are not limited to the most affluent, and do not become a major contributor to climate change.

Iraqi Police recruiting drive signs up 1,115 in Al Anbar

CAMP FALLUJAH, Iraq – In one of the most successful recruiting efforts inwestern Iraq to date, 1,115 Iraqi men have recently signed up to join the Police Forces in the restive Al Anbar Province.

The new recruits, mostly from the Anbar cities of Ramadi, Fallujah and Hit, willattend a five-week training course at the Jordanian International Police TrainingCollege. Following successful completion of the course the new officers will join themore than 8,000 police currently serving in communities throughout Al Anbar Province.

The successful recruiting effort this month moves the Government of Iraq andMulti-National Forces West one step closer to achieving the joint goal of ensuring11,330 trained law enforcement officers are on the job by April 2007.

“There are no spectacular victories in a counterinsurgency, but this represents asignificant development in the fight for the people of Anbar,” said a Marine LTC.

The Soldiers observed 3 men near a flat bed pick-up truck congregating around a pot hole in the side of the road. The men fled on foot into a house as the Soldiers approached to investigate. The Soldiers entered and cleared the house, capturing the three.

As the Soldiers searched the outlying area, they discovered 2 more menstripping electrical wires, preparing to wire improvised explosive devices. The Soldiers arrested these two as well. Upon returning to the pothole, the Soldiers found a partially buried Improvised explosive devise.

In a separate incident, Company C, 4-31 Inf. captured 3 men wanted for their ties to al Qaeda terrorism cells.

Also on Dec 15, Soldiers from the 89th Cavalry Regiment, captured one insurgent 6 miles north of Yusufiyah for involvement in IED placement along Iraqi Highway 1. An IED exploded while the Soldiers were conducting during a route clearing mission.

The unit searched the area and encountered 2 men in a house near theexplosion site. One man implicated the other in the IED incident. The man implicated was arrested.

3 insurgents killed attempting to emplace IEDs in Ramadi

RAMADI - U.S. troops killed three insurgents with a precision munition and direct fire for hostile actions Dec. 14 in Ramadi.

U.S. troops observed one insurgent emplacing an IED. He was killed. Four more insurgents were observed emplacing another IED. U.S. troops used a precision munition to destroy a shack that insurgents were entering and exiting while emplacement was occurring. The shack was destroyed and two insurgents were killed.

4 insurgents killed attempting to emplace IEDs

FALLUJAH - 4 insurgents were killed by aviation fires after precision munitions were employed to destroy a truck used to transport improvised explosive devices in Fallujah.

Marines observed insurgents excavating IED-making material from the side of a road and loading it into a truck. The truck then proceeded to another location where the insurgents began emplacing the IEDs.

The Marines established positive identification of the insurgents and destroyed the truck with precision munitions. The 4 insurgents were killed by direct fire.

Coalition Forces kill 3 terrorists, capture 1 following gunfights

BAGHDAD – Soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 18th Infantry, currently attached to the 1st Cavalry Division, killed 3 terrorists and captured a 4th following two attacks on coalition forces in the capital mid-morning.

The first terrorist was killed when Soldiers spotted him on a rooftop aiming a rocket propelled grenade at the patrol in the Furat neighborhood. The second attack began with small arms fire on a coalition patrol in the Bayaa neighborhood. The patrol engaged a small group of terrorists, killing two and wounding one.

A total of 3 assault rifles and a rocket propelled grenade launcher were recovered from the two attacks.

ISF Captures Illegal Armed Group Cell Leader -

BAGHDAD – 8th Iraqi Army division forces captured the head of the Al Kut Office of the Martyr Sadr for involvement in illegal arms smuggling activities and directing attacks against Iraqi Security Forces.

He ordered his followers to conduct indirect fire attacks and place improvised explosive devices targeting Iraqi and Coalition Forces. He also took part in an ambush carried out against an Iraqi Army patrol on Sept. 11, 2006.

Iraqi Army forces cordoned and entered the buildings to arrest the leader and other cell members. The man was found along with IED making components consisting of an artillery projectile, 2 rocket propelled grenades, hand grenades and mortar rounds. Also found were 2 assault rifles, 17 rifle magazines, night vision goggles, cell phones and a hand-held two-way radio

During the operation, Iraqi Security Forces exchanged fire with hostile elements, wounding one enemy fighter. The fighter was captured along with 3 additional armed men.

The 6th Iraqi Army Division team observed two vehicles that had stopped a local national bus, forcing the passengers off the bus at approximately 10:40 a.m.. The Iraqi Army Soldiers pursued the suspects who got back into the two vehicles and drove off in separate directions.

The Iraqi Army soldiers stopped one of the fleeing vehicles near an established checkpoint in the area. One kidnapper was killed and two others wounded due to the small arms fire used by the Iraqi soldiers to stop the fleeing car. In the trunk of the stopped vehicle, one kidnap victim was found.

The other car, a white Daiwoo, was also followed from the location wherepassengers were forced from a bus. The Iraqi Army pursued this vehicle until it stopped in front of a house nearby. Two additional kidnap victims were freed from the trunk of the vehicle and 20 more kidnap victims were found inside the house. 6 kidnappers were captured from this incident.

After further investigation, most of the kidnapped victims are believed to be Shi’a and predominately from Ramadi. Some of the victims showed signs ofabuse; they had been badly beaten. All 23 rescued victims have been transferred to the 4/1/6 IA Headquarters and are receiving medical treatment.

The kidnappers have been identified as Sunni’s. The kidnapping cell leader, a Syrian named Abu Mousan, escaped capture.

BAGHDAD - The Iraqi army arrested 95 insurgents during the last 24 hours in different parts of Baghdad, the Defence Ministry said.

Acting upon intelligence sources, U.S. troops launched an operation to detain individuals running a known terrorist cell. At the objective, U.S. troops received enemy rifle and machine gun fire. Due to the heavy volume of enemy fire, U.S. troops also engaged the terrorists by calling in airstrikes.

U.S.A.F. fighters fired rounds neutralizing the enemy threat. U.S. troops then cleared the objective of terrorists. Upon a search of the objective area, they found 2 female nationals who were killed during the firefight. U.S. troops found machine guns, AK-47s and rifles at the scene.

U.S. Troops Conducts Strike On Insurgents, Killing 2

AR RAMADI, Iraq – U.S. troops conducted a precision strike on insurgent forces after observing 3 men loading weapons from a known cache site into a vehicle in central Ramadi.

After making positive identification, U.S. troops fired precision ordnance at the vehicle, killing 2 terrorists. One terrorist was seen limping away from the scene.

U.S. Forces Engage Insurgents & Supporters In Ar Ramadi, 6 Killed

AR RAMADI, Iraq – 6 Iraqis were killed in conjunction with a firefight in the hostile Hamaniyah area in Ar Ramadi in the early hours of Nov. 28.

Prior to dawn, U.S. troops discovered an improvised explosive device in a historic IED location in Hamaniyah. The patrol spotted 2 insurgents moving away from the trigger site. The 2 men took up positions on the roof of a house and observed the U.S. troops clearing the IED.

As U.S. troops cleared the IED, the insurgents engaged the soldiers providing security with small arms fire. After establishing positive identification, U.S. troops engaged with small arms and machine gun fire. As the insurgents continued to engage the patrol, U.S. troops returned fire with M1-A1 Abrams main gun tank rounds. U.S. troops conducted an extensive search of the house and found 6 Iraqis dead.

According to local residents, the house was a known insurgent safe house. It was reported that one of the insurgents was wounded and other insurgents came to him from the house.

Moralna ogranièenja se u praksi rata pojavljuju u dva vida. Prvi vid, ogranièenja koja faktièki uvek nalazimo u ratovima imaju, pored dve druge dimenzije – ritualne (predrasudne i samopodrazumevajuaee, koja deluje kao nereflektovana obièajna, heteronomna norma) i strate1ke (da se cilj, pobeda, postigne uz minimum angàmana i razaranja), takoðe i moralnu dimenziju. Ta ogranièenja Rat kao pojava i kao praksa 157 111 Upor. F. Nièe, Tako je govorio Zaratustra, Odeljak o ratu i ratnièkom narodu. svojim postojanjem omoguaeavaju uno1enje obrazlòenja, kako u tumaèenja samih ogranièenja tako i u odreðenje domena njihove primene, i onda ta obrazlòenja mogu biti i moralna. I drugi vid, moguaenost njihovog uvoðenja otvara prostor za uspostavljanje moralnih pravila za odreðene klase tipiènih situacija i radnji. Ipak, veliki broj situacija i radnji, zbog svoje atipiènosti ili zbog konteksta u kojem ih nalazimo a koji se ne mòe podvesti pod neko prethodno uspostavljeno pravilo, ostaaee izvan moguaenosti regulisanja ili ocenjivanja pravilima, i moraaee moralno da se ocenjuju direktnom primenom moralnog kriterijuma. Osim toga, sama ta ogranièenja ne mogu dati nikakvo pozitivno opravdanje, koje, ako je uop1te moguaee, mora doaei sa druge strane – ili iz cilja rata, ili iz njegovog uzroka, ili iz nekog principa kao 1to je princip pravde ili princip (samo) odbrane. Ciljevi, naravno, mogu dati pozitivno opravdanje, jer se njima odreðuje ne1to pòeljno. Odreðeni kao pravedni ciljevi oni se mogu definisati sasvim nezavisno od stvarne odbrane, 1to aee u nekom obliku teorije o pravednim i nepravednim ratovima otvoriti vrata zapoèinjanju novih i pro1irenju ili prodùavanju postojeaeih ratova. Takvi su, na primer, krsta1ki ili ideolo1ki ratovi. Uzroci, koji se po pravilu takoðe kombinuju sa naèelom pravde, obièno u vidu oseaeanja nepravde, mogu se uvek naaei i zato zahtevaju nezavisan kriterijum odreðivanja dovoljnosti da bi mogli postati dovoljan razlog za rat. Ali taj kriterijum ne mòe biti sasvim nezavisan, jer se u njegovom konstituisanju pojavljuje i spremnost da se ne1to dòivi ne samo kao nepravda veae i kao dovoljno velika nepravda. Pretenzija na opravdanost onda ne mora, ni kod uzroka, a naroèito kod ciljeva, biti i stvarno opravdanje. Èini se da samo poslednji princip, odbrana, sam po sebi i bez dodatnih uslova, daje opravdanje za rat. Ali ni to nije sasvim izvesno. Moguaee je da je napad izazvan. Takav je, po pretpostavci, preventivni napad, napad radi spreèavanja napada. Ali nije uvek lako razlikovati nùnu odbranu od vi1ka odbrane, na primer, od prikrivenog cilja nametanja svog pogleda na svet drugima. Odbrambeni rat se lako mòe pretvoriti u agresivni, a mòda je to na skriven naèin bio od poèetka. Odbrana mòe da bude efikasna samo ako preðe MORAL I NA[E VREME 158 u kontranapad, i kad rat poène onda se radi o pobedi, koja se uvek defini1e kao odbrana svojih ciljeva. A koja je od kompetitivnih „odbrana" ispravna, to neaee zavisiti (samo) od sadr`aja tih ciljeva veae (i) od toga ko pobedi – jer pobednik odreðuje valjanost tih sadr`aja. Nije, zatim, jasno do kojeg obima vài princip odbrane. Da li su druge zemlje, a posebno saveznièke, dùne da brane onu koja je napadnuta? Moglo bi se uèiniti da, ako jesu, to predstavlja moguaei mehanizam za spreèavanje rata: univerzalna solidarnost sa napadnutim. Ali u stvarnosti je to mnogo komplikovanije, i to uglavnom iz dva razloga. Prvo, odbrana prelazi u kontranapad i pretvara se u napad; drugo, savezi su stvoreni pre rata. To znaèi da primena principa odbrane mòe pod odreðenim uslovima rezultovati u pro1irenju rata. A ako se savlada tehnika izazivanja napada onda se dolazi u posed cilja koji ustvari opravdava otpoèinjanje rata. Napu1tanjem prakse (ili dùnosti) dr`ava da se jedna drugoj ne me1aju u unutra1nje stvari lako se indukuju procesi u kojima se razlika izmeðu obrane i napada zamagljuje, labavi ili potpuno gubi. Zato je agresija normativni pojam, razlièit od indikativnog pojma napad. Ali sa normativno1aeu dolazi i interpretacija, a time i moguaenost krijum

 an arbitrary jetted radio AGN at $z = 0$ and $z = 1$. As illustrated by the spectral age curves in the figure, the ngVLA will excel in studies of radio AGN spanning a broad range of ages at low redshift, as well as young or embedded radio AGN at higher redshifts. The results from the Australia Telescope 20 GHz (AT20G) survey [@murphy+10] indicate that continuum measurements in the tens of GHz range are needed to model the radio spectral energy distributions adequately [@sadler+06; @sadler+08]. These observations are particularly crucial for modeling the ages of young, low-redshift sources less than 10 Myrs old. Lower frequency radio continuum data in the MHz range are important for constraining the ages of high-$z$ sources; however, the inclusion of the lowest-frequency ngVLA bands down to $\sim$1 GHz would provide sufficient frequency coverage for measuring the ages of sources as old as 30-40 Myrs at $z \sim 1$.

Characterizing Spectral Turnover {#sec:turno}
--------------------------------

CSS, GPS, and HFP sources show an inverse correlation between the spectral peak frequency and their linear sizes [@odea+98; @orienti+14]. The spectra may be peaked due to the absorption by either a relativistic plasma or an external screen of ionized gas. Simulations by @bicknell+17 have shown that the location of each source on the turnover-linear size relation is dependent on the warm ISM density, suggestive of an evolutionary link between all three classes of young radio AGN. However, the details of the absorption model remain unclear [@callingham+15]. Therefore, high-resolution observations sampling both sides of the peak/turnover frequency are essential for identifying the absorption process.

As shown in Figure \[fig:rsed\], the inclusion of low-frequency observations around 1 GHz or lower would enhance studies of the turnover in the optically-thick radio SEDs of young radio AGN. This analysis would provide new insights into the dominant physical mechanism responsible for the turnover (e.g. synchrotron self-absorption vs. free-free absorption; @ken+66) in young radio AGN over a larger parameter space. The Next Generation LOw Band Observatory (ngLOBO; @taylor+17), which is a proposed enhancement to the basic ngVLA reference design, would extend the ngVLA’s frequency range below 1 GHz. NgLOBO would enable more robust radio SED and spectral aging model studies with the ngVLA, particularly for slightly older ($>$ 10 Myr) and more distant ($z > 1$) sources.

Uniqueness to ngVLA Capabilities
================================

The broad frequency range (1–116 GHz) of the ngVLA will facilitate surveys of the radio spectral ages of [*young*]{} AGN residing in gas-rich galaxies at low and intermediate redshifts. We emphasize that unlike other next-generation radio facilities that will operate primarily at lower frequencies (e.g. the SKA), the ngVLA will be uniquely well-suited for measuring the ages of young radio AGN potentially engaged in jet-ISM feedback.

Multiwavelength Synergy
=======================

Young radio AGN are an important class of objects for studying the interplay between galaxies and their central engines. Upcoming or current facilities in the radio regime, as well as at other wavelengths, will be essential for probing the morphologies, evolutionary stages, and energetics of young radio AGN, and will ultimately provide new insights into radio jet physics and its impact on galaxy growth and evolution.

SKA
---

The ngVLA and Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will both allow broadband studies of radio SEDs over their respective wide frequency ranges, thus providing the temporal information from spectral aging models necessary for interpreting the evolutionary stage of the source. The SKA will be able to detect emission associated with fading radio lobes, tracing the regime of radio AGN with older spectral ages (“AGN archaeology;” @morganti+17). In Figure \[fig:JP\], we showed that the 1–116 GHz observing range of the ngVLA is advantageous for studies of low-redshift radio AGN, or intermediate redshift sources that are very young. Such young sources are often embedded in dense environments, and are known to drive multi-phase gas outflows [e.g. @holt+08; @gereb+15]. Broadband radio continuum surveys with both the ngVLA and SKA will therefore be needed to construct a complete picture of the life cycles of radio AGN and their connection to galaxy evolution.

ALMA
----

The frequency range of the ngVLA samples non-thermal synchrotron emission associated with radio AGN and recent star formation as well as thermal emission from current star-forming regions. The higher frequency bands of the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) are sensitive to the dust continuum, which can be used to help determine robust star formation rates. In terms of spectral line emission, the ngVLA will be able to detect the bulk of the molecular ISM through the low-J transitions of the CO molecule, while ALMA will be sensitive to higher-J CO transitions as well as a wide variety of additional molecular species and transitions that will characterize the ISM conditions. Thus, the combination of the ngVLA and ALMA will be important for constraining the impact of young radio AGN on the ISM and star formation on galactic scales.

Optical and Infrared Telescopes:
--------------------------------

Next-generation optical and infrared telescopes such as the *James Webb* Space Telescope *(JWST)*, Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT), Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT), and the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope *(WFIRST)* will provide a wealth of complementary information about the physical conditions of young radio AGN and the properties of their hosts. This includes resolving host morphologies, studying the kinematics of the warm ionized gas via spectroscopy, delineating star-formation and AGN via mid-infrared imaging and SED analyses, and tracing AGN-driven outflows and their excitation mechanisms.

Funny that may seem, but it’s easy to relate to Flynn’s enthusiasm: He Is Legend’s hooky, brooding, heavy rockcore — same ballpark as Every Time I Die, same superhuman vibe as Deftones — is so lovable, its impact quick and lasting and appealing to both genders (!). Like Flynn, you celebrate their excellence like you’ve just discovered time travel.

But at the same time, you despair at HIL’s low profile, the product of bad luck, bad associations, and bad business. For like all huge bands that you’re proud to love, HiL scores an staggering ratio of brawn to accessibility and of fluency to creativity. It qualifies them for a career as one of heavy music’s biggest bands. Like, Mastodon big, Alice In Chains big, Tool big. But nope, our aforementioned time machine is known to too few people yet would thrill so many.

Today, after a half-decade, a hiatus, a change of drummers, a false start, and an eternity of waiting, He Is Legend finally unveils a new song. Titled “Something Witchy,” it convenes It Hates You‘s production team (Mitch Marlow) and arrives on the same record label (Tragic Hero) — and seems to use similar thread to make us a scarf to layer over IHY‘s sleek jacket.

 quickly from the cherry stem than from the fruit itself ([@B37]). In the current study, the stem removal force was similar at harvest for both cultivars; however, the long-stem 'Ferrovia' fruits exhibited higher titration force after prolonged shelf life period (**Figure [3A](#F3){ref-type="fig"}**), possibly due to less stem browning (**Supplementary Figure [S2A](#SM3){ref-type="supplementary-material"}**).

In the current study, firmness retention in the cherry fruits was evaluated using two different approaches, namely tissue penetration and tissue deformation (compression test). 'Ferrovia' fruits demonstrated their superiority with higher firmness values, as determined by skin penetration (**Figure [3B](#F3){ref-type="fig"}**), concomitant with higher acceptability (**Supplementary Figure [S2C](#SM3){ref-type="supplementary-material"}**). However, no differences between the examined cultivars were monitored when a 15% of the fruit deformation assay was applied (**Figure [3C](#F3){ref-type="fig"}**). These data clearly indicate the necessity to employ an array of techniques to determine textural properties of cherry fruits using both large and small deformation mechanical testing.

Antioxidant Features of Sweet Cherry Fruits
-------------------------------------------

Anthocyanin content substantially increased in both cultivars after 8 days shelf life, while generally slight differences were monitored between the examined cultivars for each storage regime (**Figure [4A](#F4){ref-type="fig"}**). Although sweet cherry fruit is regarded one of the richest sources of anthocyanins among fruit species ([@B20]); however, both tested cultivars can be considered rather of low anthocyanin content compared to other studied cherry cultivars ([@B3]). The major anthocyanins identified in sweet cherry fruits were the 3-*O*-glucoside and 3-*O*-rutinoside of cyanidin, with peonidin-3-*O*-rutinoside, pelargonidin-3-*O*-rutinoside being present in lower amounts ([@B17]; [@B25]); differences in the predominant anthocyanins among cultivars have been recently identified ([@B3]).

![**Total anthocyanin **(A)** and total phenolic **(B)** contents of sweet cherry fruits (cvs. 'Canada Giant', 'Ferrovia') at harvest (H) and after additional maintenance at room temperature (20°C, shelf life) for 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 days.** Each value represents the mean of three replications analyzed at each time interval after harvest. The vertical bars in each particular figure represent the LSD (*P* = 0.05).](fpls-06-00959-g004){#F4}

Among other phenolic compounds, sweet cherries are particularly rich in hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives (neochlorogenic acid, *p*-coumaroylquinic acid and chlorogenic acid; [@B42]; [@B29]). These hydroxycinnamates are important for their potential contributions to the color of the sweet cherry fruits through the co-pigmentation process with anthocyanins ([@B31]), as well as they are potent antioxidants ([@B28]). In the current study, the total phenolics content increased upon maintenance at 20°C to certain pseudoplateau values, compared to harvest, being always higher in 'Ferrovia' fruit (**Figure [4B](#F4){ref-type="fig"}**). However, as previously mentioned for anthocyanins content, such values are regarded rather low compared to other sweet cherry cultivars ([@B41]). An increase of total phenolic content has been also recorded during the last on-tree developmental stages ([@B35]); moreover, there is a further increase during maintenance at room temperature and cold storage ([@B9]). Weight loss during postharvest storage can merely explain the accumulation of phenolic compounds.

In this study, the fruit antioxidant capacity was measured with three assays. All of them indicated a general induction of antioxidant capacity throughout the shelf life period (**Figures [5A--C](#F5){ref-type="fig"}**), concomitant with the increase monitored in total anthocyanins and phenolic contents (**Figures [4](#F4){ref-type="fig"}** and **[5](#F5){ref-type="fig"}**), thus confirming previous observations ([@B41]; [@B34]). The DPPH and ABTS assays indicated similar range of values for the examined cultivars; being slightly higher in 'Canada Giant' fruits after 6 and 8 days at 20°C (**Figures [5A,B](#F5){ref-type="fig"}**). However, this was not the case when the FRAP assay was employed; i.e., while 'Ferrovia' fruits demonstrated a ca. threefold increase after 8 days at 20°C, 'Canada Giant' fruits showed different pattern during the shelf life period and substantially lower Trolox values (**Figure [5C](#F5){ref-type="fig"}**). The fact that antioxidant assays used are based on different mechanisms that measure the antioxidative effect of extracts may partially explain this differentiation. Indicatively, contrasting results concerning the antioxidant potential of the 'Ferrovia' cultivar have been reported: [@B3] monitored rather low ORAC values for 'Ferrovia' among 24 examined cultivars, while [@B21] ranked 'Ferrovia' second in antioxidant capacity among 14 cultivars, using the FRAP assay. It is interesting to note that all antioxidant assays showed a progressive increase of antioxidant capacity on both cultivars during shelf life at 20°C (**Figures [5A--C](#F5){ref-type="fig"}**). The latter is attributed to the accumulation of phenolic compounds and especially of anthocyanins. The antioxidant potency cannot be realized by the consumer as a quality index, but it is important to deliver fruits of high nutraceutical content since many studies reported an inverse association between risk of chronic diseases and the consumption of fruits and vegetables ([@B8]).

### Metabolic Profile of Sweet Cherry by HPLC and NMR

In an attempt to rationalize the temporal changes on quality attributes and antioxidant properties of sweet cherry fruit during postharvest maintenance, we further explored their major metabolites, such as individual sugars, organic acids and phenolic compounds. The most important phenolic antioxidants in sweet cherries are anthocyanins, but the fruits also have significant amounts of colorless hydroxycinnamic acids and flavonoids ([@B22]). In this work, hydroxycinnamates as neochlorogenic acid and *p*-coumaroylquinic acid and flavonoids, including catechin, epicatechin and rutin, were quantified using HPLC analysis. The results showed that the sweet cherries contain higher amounts of hydroxycinnamic acid compared to flavonoids (**Figure [6](#F6){ref-type="fig"}**). In particular, the hydroxycinnamates/flavonoids ratios ranged between 6.5 and 10.4 in 'Canada Giant' and 'Ferrovia' fruits during postharvest ripening. An incremental change in the concentration of phenolics was found with the progress of shelf life period. A similar accumulation of hydroxycinnamates and flavonoids after 6 days storage at 15°C was also described for 'Summit' and 'Saco' sweet cherry fruit ([@B18]). This phenomenon may originate from condensation of the phenolic compounds due to loss of water during ripening and/or the postharvest biosynthesis of phenolic compounds ([@B23]). This analysis also showed that the phenolic content is highly dependent on the cultivar being considered; the sum of hydroxycinnamates and flavonoids at harvest was 21.4 mg 100 g^-1^ FW and 31.7 mg 100 g^-1^ FW for Canada Giant' and 'Ferrovia' fruits, respectively. Interestingly, a significant correlation (*r* \> 0.84, *p* \< 0.05) was found for the estimated phenolics content by the Folin--Ciocalteu method and the HPLC assay. Thus, rapid and easy spectrophotometric method, namely Folin--Ciocalteu assay, can be initially used to give a rapid estimation of the phenolic content in sweet cherry fruit.

 within groups and populations in much too constricted a range?

The current myth of normal tries to extinguish the very variation (biological and behavioral) that is core to our species’ ability to evolve and adapt to so many different challenges.

There are some extreme variants in human biology and behavior that are truly problematic in serious ways (neurological defects and pathological psychoses, for example). But those are few and far between. Here, in tackling the myth of normal, I am talking about our overemphasis on constraining the range of human variation into too narrow a band—mistaking “average” for a value statement, and forgetting that it is merely a statistical description.

For example, we often think about things like “normal” weight, height, and -specific behavior as indicators of physical, psychological, and social health, but are they? What is “normal” in this context?

Let’s use a straightforward example: Height and weight. Humans as a species are enormously variable, with some populations averaging under five feet in height and others averaging over six feet; and, on average, men are about 10-15 percent larger than women. So there is a huge range in our species and some patterns, based on sex. Within any single population we expect to see less overall variation in height than in the whole species, but the same pattern based on sex. However, even within a relatively homogenous population there can be substantial variation in height.

Consider: If you line up all males and female adults in a population, there is usually about a 70 percent overlap in height—meaning that the statistically average male is taller than the statically average female. However, if you actually go out and select thousands of individual people at random in this population and just look at their heights in he absence of any other data, you are going to be able to accurately determine their sex by their height alone only about 30 percent of the time. Yes, the tallest are likely to be men and the shortest, women—but this does not get you anywhere near 100 percent of the actual variation. This means that being a tall woman or a short man, while statistically out of the norm, is not by any means uncharacteristic—or abnormal. It is a regular part of the distribution of variation. Tall women and short men are normal.

Weight is even more complicated. Currently we use BMI (the relationship of height to weight) as a measure of overall health. This assumes that there are easily identifiable, and normal, relationships between height and weight in regards to being a healthy human. But weight and health, while related, is not a simple relationship, and BMI does not differentiate between a body builder and a couch potato whose height and weight may be the same but for very different reasons. It is very apparent that while BMI does work for those at the very extreme of the height/weight relationship range, it is not a great measure of health in most of its range.

If we are getting “normal” so wrong for things as easy to measure and understand as height and weight, what about things like gender, sociability, imaginative interests, etc.? Is there one average (and thus “right”) way to be a boy or a girl? No. Gender is a highly complex and broad spectrum with individuals being a mix of a range of elements from across the feminine-masculine spectrum—average patterns exist, but they are statistical measures, not assessments of, success and contentment. Should everyone be expected to feel more or less the same in social situations, have more or less the same number and types of friends? Of course not—there are many feasible options for sociability, and most people within that broad range do just fine. Is it evolutionarily, socially, or psychologically better to force oneself to be interested in the books, movies, themes, and ideas that are held as “normal” in a given society? It might make some people more comfortable, but it does not necessarily lead to flourishing and happiness in most individuals.

It is the very human ability to range far and wide in body and mind that has enabled us to do so well as a species, and the myth of normal cuts that range down to a minimal “norm.” Again, I am not arguing that anything goes—rather, that by continuously imagining that there is a direct connection between the statistical norm and the “right” way to be, we are making the lives of many people, across the range of variation for any given trait more difficult, and denying them a seat at the table.

Humans are remarkably diverse—it has served us well in the past, it is with us in the present, and it will benefit us in the future. Don’t deny variability: Enjoy your spot at any place on the continuum and know that being different is in fact a normal part of being human.<|endoftext|>---
abstract: 'We consider a cantilever mechanical oscillator(MO) made of diamond. There is a nitrogen-vacancy(NV) center at the end of the cantilever. Two magnetic tips induce strong second order magnetic field gradient near the NV center. Under a coherent driving on MO, we find that the coupling between the MO and the NV center can be greatly enhanced. We studied how to realize quantum state transfer between MO and NV center and generate entanglement between them. We also proposed a scheme to generate the two-mode squeezing between different MO modes by coupling them to the same NV center. The decoherence and dissipation effects for both MO and NV center are numerically calculated by taking the present experimental parameters. It is found that high fidelity quantum state transfer, entanglement generation, and large two-mode squeezing could be achieved.'

title: 'The second order magnetic field gradient induced strong coupling between nitrogen-vacancy centers and a mechanical oscillator'
---

introduction
============

Nano(Micro)-mechanical oscillator, due to its applications in ultra-high precise sensing and testing quantum phenomenon at macroscopic scale [@Marquardt; @Yinreview], has attracted a lot of attentions in recent years. Combined with cavity opto- and electro-mechanics, the mechanical oscillator (MO) has been explored extensively as a quantum interface [@Duan; @Tian; @Andrews2014; @Wang2012]. Besides, strong coupling for hybrid MO systems have been realized, which can be used to achieve ground state cooling, quantum information processing etc [@Kippenberg2007; @HLWang2009; @YFXiao2015; @Painter2015]. Recently, more and more attentions have been paid on interfacing the mechanical degrees of freedom with a single quantum object such as a 2-level system whose quantum state can be precisely controlled. It has been investigated both theoretically and experimentally of coupling a nanomechanical oscillator with solid state qubits, such as Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond [@Rugar; @Rabl2009; @Xu; @XBwang; @Rabl2010; @PengboLi2015; @PengboLi2016; @Connell; @Arcizet; @Lukinscience2012; @Neukirch2015; @Hoang2016].

Resonating nanostructures made of single-crystal diamond are expected to possess excellent mechanical properties, including high-quality factors and low dissipation. Diamond has been expected to have great applications as a uniquely versatile material, yet one that is intricate to grow and process. Fortunately, quality factors exceeding one million are found at room temperature, surpassing those of single-crystal silicon cantilevers of similar dimensions by roughly an order of magnitude [@Tao]. In addition, diamond hosts interesting intrinsic dopants [@HainlinWang]—most prominently the NV center—that have been recognized as rich resource for single-photon generation, quantum engineering and nanoscale magnetic sensing. With all these advantages, the diamond nanostructures may lead to wide applications in quantum science.

NV centers are formed by a nitrogen atom and a nearby vacancy in diamond, usually negatively charged, possessing 6 electrons, with spin $S=1$ in the ground state and regarded as artificial atoms in solid systems [@Doherty2013]. Because of the long coherence time and sensitive to magnetic field, they are promising candidates for quantum information processing and also widely used as solid-state ultra sensitive magnetic field sensor. There are usually two kinds of methods to couple the NV centers with MO. The first one requires the strain induced effective electric field to mix phonon mode with NV centers electron spins [@Lukin2013; @Teissier2014; @Yin2015]. The strain induced coupling is very sensitive to the size of the MO. The strong coupling regime is very difficult to approach through this direction. The second one is based on the strong first order magnetic field gradient [@Rabl2009]. For the first method, one of the main problems in the hybrid systems of NV center and MO is the strong coupling condition requiring ultra-high magnetic gradient [@Rabl2009]. One way to solve the problem is to reduce the effective mass of the oscillator or trapping frequency [@Yin2013; @2016WCGeNJP]. Here we study the third coupling mechanism between NV center and MO based on second order magnetic coupling, which was studied for heating one mode of the MO to cool the other one to quantum ground regime [@Yin2016].

In this article, we propose a scheme to realize strong coupling between MO and NV center under the second order magnetic field gradient. In section II, we firstly introduce a new model used to describe the coupling between MO and NV centers and demonstrate the increased coupling between them. In section III, we propose the scheme to generate the entanglement and realize state transfer between the NV center and the MO

hetic periocular surgery including brow, midface, and upper face.
Because of the rapid evolution and wide scope of cosmetic surgery in this decade we focus on some of the newer techniques used by oculoplastic surgeons for the rejuvenation of the periorbital area. These procedures may be used alone or as adjuncts to more established plastic surgery techniques. We discuss the role of botulinum toxin in the treatment of facial furrows, new techniques in forehead and brow suspension, the suborbicularis oculi fat suspension, and the role of chemical peels in the periorbital area, upper face, and forehead. All four of these techniques are important in addressing facial rhytids in the periorbital region. It is important to realize that in modern-day cosmetic surgery the best results are achieved using a multidimensional approach incorporating surgical procedures together with nonsurgical techniques or minimally invasive procedures.<|endoftext|>Q:

Pyspark dropping all connections

I'm trying to diagnose some weird connection issues on my spark grid: I'm seeing an insane number of dropped connection.
I'm running something that looks like this on a distributed pyspark cluster
spark_context.parallelize(tasks)) \
               .map(lambda kwargs: my_mapped_fn(**kwargs) \
               .reduceByKey(my_reduce_by_key) \

               .reduce(my_final_reduce)

I'm pretty sure it fails during the my_final_map part, hence my suspicion about the closure transport, so many that my jobs fail.

18\epsilon^{-2}\max\left(11K+K\log\left(\frac{\sqrt{K}}{\condition\epsilon^{2}}\right)+\log\volume\,,\,\log\left(\frac{8}{\failprob}\right)\right),
    \label{eq:Mboundinproof}$$ then, except with a probability of at most $\failprob$, holds for every $z\in \manifold_{\epsilon/40}$.

The proof strategy is identical to that in Appendix \[sec:Proof of new manifold embedding\]. We will prove that holds for every $z\in\manifold_{\epsilon/40}$, with high probability and provided that $M$ is large enough. As before, this is achieved by finding an upper bound on $$\label{eq:stable embed of U(M,x) goal}
    {\operatorname{P}\left\{  \sup_{y\in U(\manifold_{\epsilon/40},x)}\left|\left\Vert \proj y\right\Vert -1\right|>\epsilon \right\}},$$ for $\epsilon\le1/3$.

We begin again by constructing a sequence of increasingly finer covers for $U\left(\manifold_{\thresh},x\right)$, with $\thresh$ to be set later. We denote this sequence by $\{\Uparcover_j\left(\Uresolution\right)\}$—each $\Uparcover_j(\Uresolution)$ is a ($2^{-j}\Uresolution$)-net for $U(\manifold_{\thresh},x)$. For $0<\Uresolution\le1/\sqrt{2}$, set $\Mresolution=\Uresolution^2\condition$ and $\thresh=4\Uresolution$. We form $\{\Uparcover_j\left(\Uresolution\right)\} $ from $\{C_{j}\left(\Mresolution\right)\} $, the sequence of covers for $\manifold$ constructed in Appendix \[sec:Constructing a Sequence of Covers for U(M)\]. Indeed, the same argument in that section proves that $U(C_j(\Mresolution),x) $ is a ($2^{-j}\Uresolution$)-cover for $U(\manifold_\thresh,x)$. It also holds that $$\#\Uparcover_j(\Uresolution)\le\#C_j(\Mresolution)\le 4^{jK}\left(\frac{2}{\theta(\Uresolution^2/4)\Uresolution^2\condition}\right)^{K}\frac{\volume}{V_{\ball_K}}\le 4^{jK}\left(\frac{\sqrt{K}}{\Uresolution^2\condition}\right)^K\volume=:\Uparcoverno_j(\Uresolution).$$ As before, we can represent every $y\in U(M_{\thresh},x)$ with an infinite chain of points from the sequence of covers $\{\Uparcover_j\left(\Uresolution\right)\} $. After setting $\Uresolution=\epsilon/160$, using the same argument as the one in Appendix \[sub:Applying-the-Chaining arg\], and exploiting the estimates above, one can verify that the failure probability in is at most $\failprob$, provided that holds.

We now combine Lemma \[lemma:stable embed of U(M,z)\] and an elementary argument to complete the proof of Theorem \[theo:bound3\]. It is possible to recognize two different cases: when $\widehat{x}\in \manifold_{\epsilon/40}^{C}$ and when $\widehat{x}\in \manifold_{\epsilon/40}$. Clearly, $$\left\Vert x-x^{*}\right\Vert \le\left\Vert x-\widehat{x}\right\Vert \le\frac{\epsilon\condition}{40},\qquad\mbox{when }\widehat{x}\in \manifold_{\epsilon/40}^{C}.
    \label{eq:zhat bnd case 1}$$ If, however, $\widehat{x}\in \manifold_{\epsilon/40}$, then a more detailed analysis is required. An application of Lemma \[lemma:basics for fixed\] implies that holds for $z=x^*$, except with a probability of at most $\failprob$ and provided that $M\ge6\epsilon^{-2}\log(2/\failprob)$. Suppose the assumptions in Lemma \[lemma:stable embed of U(M,z)\] are met. Therefore, holds for every $z\in
\manifold_{\epsilon/40}\cup\{x^{*}\}$, except with a probability of at most $2\rho$. Also, by the definition of $x^{*}$ and $\widehat{x}$, it holds true that $$\left\Vert x-x^{*}\right\Vert \le\left\Vert x-\widehat{x}\right\Vert ~~~\text{and}~~~
    \left\Vert \left(\proj x+\noise\right)-\proj\widehat{x}\right\Vert \le\left\Vert \left(\proj x+\noise\right)-\proj x^{*}\right\Vert.$$ Now, combining all these bounds and using several applications of the triangle inequality we obtain that $$\begin{aligned}
    \left\Vert x-\widehat{x}\right\Vert  & \le\left(1-\epsilon\right)^{-1}\left\Vert \proj x-\proj\widehat{x}\right\Vert \\
    & \le\left(1-\epsilon\right)^{-1}\left\Vert \left(\proj x+\noise\right)-\proj\widehat{x}\right\Vert +\left(1-\epsilon\right)^{-1}\left\Vert \noise\right\Vert \\
    & \le\left(1-\epsilon\right)^{-1}\left\Vert \left(\proj x+\noise\right)-\proj x^{*}\right\Vert +\left(1-\epsilon\right)^{-1}\left\Vert \noise\right\Vert \\
    & \le\left(1-\epsilon\right)^{-1}\left\Vert \proj x-\proj x^{*}\right\Vert +2\left(1-\epsilon\right)^{-1}\left\Vert \noise\right\Vert \\
    & \le\frac{1+\epsilon}{1-\epsilon}\left\Vert x-x^{*}\right\Vert +2\left(1-\epsilon\right)^{-1}\left\Vert \noise\right\Vert.\end{aligned}$$ Since $\epsilon\le1/3$, one can easily check that $$\left(1-\epsilon\right)^{-1}\le1+2\epsilon ~~~\text{and}~~~
    \frac{1+\epsilon}{1-\epsilon}\le1+3\epsilon.$$ Consequently, we obtain that $$\left\Vert x-\widehat{x}\right\Vert \le\left(1+3\epsilon\right)\left\Vert x-x^{*}\right\Vert +\left(2+4\epsilon\right)\left\Vert \noise\right\Vert,\qquad\mbox{when }\widehat{x}\in M_{\epsilon/40}.\label{eq:zhat bnd case 2}$$ Combining and, we overall obtain that $$\begin{aligned}
\label{eq:temporary 1}
    \left\Vert x-\widehat{x}\right\Vert &
     \le\max\left(\frac{\epsilon\condition}{40}\,,\,\left(1+3\epsilon\right)\left\Vert x-x^{*}\right\Vert +\left(2+4\epsilon\right)\left\Vert \noise\right\Vert \right)\nonumber\\
     &\le \left(1+3\epsilon\right)\left\Vert x-x^{*}\right\Vert +\frac{\epsilon\condition}{40} +\left(2+4\epsilon\right)\left\Vert \noise\right\Vert,\end{aligned}$$ which, to emphasize, is valid under the assumptions of Lemma \[lemma:stable embed of U(M,z)\] and except for a probability of at most $2\failprob$.

On the other hand, according to Theorem \[thm:kappa\] and the remarks that followed it (see ), it holds that $$\label{eq:temporary}
\|x-\widehat{x}\| \le (1+2\epsilon)\left(2\sqrt{\frac{N}{M}}+5\right)\|x-x^*\|+(2+4\epsilon)\|n\|,$$ except for a probability of at most $2\rho$ and as long as both and hold. From and, we conclude that $$\left\Vert x-\widehat{x}\right\Vert \le
\min\left(  \left(1+3\epsilon\right)\left\Vert x-x^{*}\right\Vert +\frac{\epsilon\condition}{40}\,,\,  (1+2\epsilon)\left(2\sqrt{\frac{N}{M}}+5\right)\|x-x^*\| \right) +\left(2+4\epsilon\right)\left\Vert \noise\right\Vert,$$ except for a probability of at most $4\rho$ and as long as both and hold. This completes the proof of Theorem \[theo:bound3\].

Proof of Theorem \[theo:bound4\] {#app:bound4}
================================

Using the triangle inequality and (\[eq:bound3\]), we have $$\begin{aligned}
{\left\| \widehat{x} - x^\ast \right\|} & \le {\left\| x-\widehat{x} \right\|} +
{\left\| x-x^\ast \right\|} \nonumber\\

<Guest40621> my internal web cam isn't working,can anyone help?
<micah> ectospasm: ahh okay thanks bro
<Jordan_U> ometzit: It's not very hard to use, but you'll lose all the data currently on whatever device you write the iso to with dd. So you want to be *very* carefull you don't accidentily write to your internal drive instead of the flash drive for instance.
<Icehole> Oh lawd, sorry.
<tensorpudding> Icehole: I downloaded the source and did 'cd corona-1.0.2 &&./configure', worked fine
<slinger> now try make ;)
<slinger> Icehole, its old code
<Icehole> Yeah.
<tensorpudding> Icehole: are you sure you're in the directory that has the configure script in it?
<slinger> Icehole, add  #include <memory.h>
<ometzit2> man i didnt know this was gonna be so hard
<slinger> and it should find the function its looking for

<Icehole> Nevermind, guys.
<ThomasB2k> I need the comment I guess
<ThomasB2k> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/500085/
<ometzit2> and in fact this is not what i wanted to do, all began because i wanted to use virtualbox
<Icehole> I found a newer, better mapper.
<slinger> Icehole, cool
<ChogyDan> ThomasB2k: yeah, lots of people get tricked by that, including me  :)
<velociostrich> How can I use an "alternative" window manager such as FVWM or Fluxbox with gnome-power-daemon (or whatever it's called) so that I can suspend/hibernate/shutdown/reboot/etc my machine easily? Or is there some other, superior means?
<ThomasB2k> Excellent chogydan, thank you!
<ometzit2> on the help page it said about a program called unet booting, can i use it for the iso of super grub 2 right?
<Jordan_U> ometzit2: No.
<NickT> anyone know how to get Linux to detect my webcam?
<Icehole> ^I second that.
<ThomasB2k> Yes!! Deb package successfully uploaded to my PPA. Once again, thank you so much ChogyDan!
<ChogyDan> ThomasB2k: yw
<ectospasm> NickT: does it show in lsusb?  Start there.
<slinger> Icehole, its easy to fix that corona source code to get it compiled you just need to add "#include <memory.h>" to the two files it complains about src/OpenTGA.cpp and src/Convert.cpp
<Jordan_U> ometzit2: Are you familiar with device names like /dev/sda being the first hard drive and /dev/sdb being the second?
<NickT> ectospasm where is that? I'm kind of new to linux
<Icehole> Doesn't matter.
<tman482> velociostrich: do a google for gnome session commands, find the ones you want to use, and then add them to menus or make keyboard shortcuts.
<Icehole> I've found a better mapper.
<ectospasm> NickT: open a terminal (Applications/Accessories/Terminal).  Type 'lsusb'
<velociostrich> tman482: I'll look into that, thanks for the tip
<root_> hey
<joot> NickT: open a terminal and type lsusb then enter key
<root_> hello
<root_> hey
<tman482> velociostrich: np, alternatively, just do the same with shutdown -h/r (halt/reboot)... you'll need sudo, but you can setup your sudoers file to do these actions without authentication
<root_> h
<NickT> ectospasm It shows there is a webcam there but no applications or website detect it
<listerdl> * What do you guys use to clone your hard drive?
<Roasted> clonezilla live

<ectospasm> NickT: what applications have you tried?
<Icehole> My Minecraft world looks AWESOME.
<pksadiq> webcam can be tested using vlc media player
<slinger> Minecraft?
<ectospasm> NickT: there's also Cheese
<etherealite> hey my boot is stuck in initramfs and when I try and mount my root partition I get :Device or resource busy. Nothing is mounted WT#% is going on?
<velociostrich> tman482: I did at one point write a pair of scripts that used zenity to ask the user (me) if they wanted to reboot/poweroff, but I like the simplicity of the whole gnome-session thing, and especially being able to suspend/hibernate my machine
<NickT> ectospasm video4linux,cheese and camorama webcam viewer
<ChogyDan> NickT: there is also gstreamer-properties
<Icehole> Well, good luck and good night.
<Jordan_U> ometzit2: I need to leave now but I'll be back in a few hours. The easiest thing to do, if you have a blank CD, is to burn it as a CD.
<ectospasm> NickT: I dunno, when mine is recognized, *it... just... works...!*
<tman482> velociostrich: Fair enough. You can setup suspend/hibernate regardless, though. Whatever works for you.
<NickT> ectospasm ok,thanks anyway
<Jordan_U> etherealite: fsck might be running.
<ometzit2> ok if the drive doesn't work i'll burn it
<ometzit2> it a shame, 4 mb in a entire cd :S
<pksadiq> then burn to pendrive! :D
<etherealite> Jordan_U Its a lvm pv, how do i get the mapper to give me the lv that i can mount?

 to stay close to home in case of further rocket attacks.

Witnesses said that following the large explosion that started the incident, Israel retaliated with tank and machine gun fire toward residential areas at the al-Muntar hill in the central part of the territory, hitting people who were returning from a funeral east of Gaza City.

Rami Harra said his 17-year-old brother Muhammad Harra was killed in the strike.

"He was at home when the explosion took place. He went out to see what happened and when he started to help evacuating wounded people who were on the ground another shell hit the place and killed him," he said outside the morgue. "Why did they kill him? I can't believe my eyes that I am seeing his dead body."

In a first response to Saturday's incident, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said the military had responded aggressively to the attack and will "consider further reaction in the coming days."

"We will not allow the escalation on the fence to go unanswered," he said.

The Israeli military said it holds Gaza's Hamas rulers responsible for the attack and that it "will not tolerate" such incidents.

In a text message to reporters, Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum threatened to respond.

"Targeting civilians is a dangerous escalation that cannot be tolerated. The resistance has the full right to respond to the Israeli crimes," he said.

Israel carried out a broad military offensive in Gaza nearly four years ago in response to years of near daily rocket fire. Major salvos from Gaza have subsided since then, but sporadic rocket fire has continued.

Gaza's Islamist Hamas rulers have largely refrained from rocket attacks since the devastating Israeli military offensive that killed hundreds of Palestinians.

Hamas, which has killed hundreds of Israelis in suicide bombings and other attacks, remains virulently anti-Israel in its rhetoric but has sought to keep things quiet as it consolidates control of Gaza, which it seized five years ago during a brief civil war against the rival Fatah movement.

Still, it is under pressure from smaller groups to prove that it remains in confrontation with the Jewish state.

The territory is home to numerous militant groups, including murky al-Qaida-inspired organizations that do not answer to Hamas. Gaza has also been flooded with weapons in recent years, many of them believed to have been smuggled from northern Africa and into Gaza through tunnels under the Egyptian border.

A game concerning Sudoku

We (me and you) start with a blank $9\times 9$ blank square (as an empty Sudoku) and I fill the first three rows legally according to Sudoku rules. Is it always possible that you complete the Sudoku with this given three rows?

A:

Suppose you filled the first three rows according to Sudoku rules, let a1, a2, a3 be the 3x1 vectors in the top-left block; b1, b2, b3 be the next three 3x1 vectors in the top-middle block; and c1, c2, c3 be the last three 3x1 vectors in the top-right block.
Then consider:
\begin{array}{|ccc|ccc|ccc|}
\hline | & | & | & | & | & | & | & | & |\\
 {\vec{a}_{1}} &  {\vec{a}_{2}} &  {\vec{a}_{3}} &  {\vec{b}_{1}} &  {\vec{b}_{2}} &  {\vec{b}_{3}} &  {\vec{c}_{1}} &  {\vec{c}_{2}} &  {\vec{c}_{3}}\\
| & | & | & | & | & | & | & | & |\\
\hline  &  &  &  &  &  &  &  & \\
 &? &  &  &? &  &  &? & \\
 &  &  &  &  &  &  &  & \\
\hline  &  &  &  &  &  &  &  & \\
 &? &  &  &? &  &  &? & \\
 &  &  &  &  &  &  &  & \\
\hline \end{array} and fill it with\begin{array}{|ccc|ccc|ccc|}
\hline | & | & | & | & | & | & | & | & |\\
 {\vec{a}_{1}} &  {\vec{a}_{2}} &  {\vec{a}_{3}} &  {\vec{b}_{1}} &  {\vec{b}_{2}} &  {\vec{b}_{3}} &  {\vec{c}_{1}} &  {\vec{c}_{2}} &  {\vec{c}_{3}}\\
| & | & | & | & | & | & | & | & |\\
\hline | & | & | & | & | & | & | & | & |\\
 {\vec{a}_{2}} &  {\vec{a}_{3}} &  {\vec{a}_{1}} &  {\vec{b}_{2}} &  {\vec{b}_{3}} &  {\vec{b}_{1}} &  {\vec{c}_{2}} &  {\vec{c}_{3}} &  {\vec{c}_{1}}\\
| & | & | & | & | & | & | & | & |\\
\hline | & | & | & | & | & | & | & | & |\\
 {\vec{a}_{3}} &  {\vec{a}_{1}} &  {\vec{a}_{2}} &  {\vec{b}_{3}} &  {\vec{b}_{1}} &  {\vec{b}_{2}} &  {\vec{c}_{3}} &  {\vec{c}_{1}} &  {\vec{c}_{2}}\\
| & | & | & | & | & | & | & | & |
\\\hline \end{array}
Note the rest of the blocks are just permutations of the columns of the blocks above. It is done in a way so that in each block, we have all 1-9 numbers, since the first three rows are Sudoku-satisfied. And each column will also have 1-9, because we used the top three blocks to make the columns. Lastly, the rows are all satisfied with 1-9, because they are just the same rows as the first three rows except permuted again.
By way of an example, consider this:
\begin{array}{|ccc|ccc|ccc|}
\hline 5 & 3 & 4 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 1 & 2\\
6 & 7 & 2 & 1 & 9 & 5 & 3 & 4 & 8\\
1 & 9 & 8 & 3 & 4 & 2 & 5 & 6 & 7\\
\hline  &  &  &  &  &  &  &  & \\
 &? &  &  &? &  &  &? & \\
 &  &  &  &  &  &  &  & \\
\hline  &  &  &  &  &  &  &  & \\
 &? &  &  &? &  &  &? & \\
 &  &  &  &  &  &  &  & \\
\hline \end{array}
We will fill the remaining blocks by permuting the columns of the 3x3 blocks directly above it cyclically:
\begin{array}{|ccc|ccc|ccc|}
\hline 5 & 3 & 4 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 1 & 2\\
6 & 7 & 2 & 1 & 9 & 5 & 3 & 4 & 8\\
1 & 9 & 8 & 3 & 4 & 2 & 5 & 6 & 7\\
\hline 3 & 4 & 5 & 7 & 8 & 6 & 1 & 2 & 9\\
7 & 2 & 6 & 9 & 5 & 1 & 4 & 8 & 3\\
9 & 8 & 1 & 4 & 2 & 3 & 6 & 7 & 5\\
\hline 4 & 5 & 3 & 8 & 6 & 7 & 2 & 9 & 1\\
2 & 6 & 7 & 5 & 1 & 9 & 8 & 3 & 4\\
8 & 1 & 9 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 7 & 5 & 6
\\\hline \end{array}

Then we compute the corresponding $(\rho,\sigma)$ using statement (5) of Proposition \[final\] and we verify if there is a $C_1:=(r',s')$ with $s'<r'<u$ and $v_{\rho,\sigma}(u,v) = v_{\rho,\sigma}(r',s')$. This happens in five cases. In all these cases $d:=\gcd(f_1-1,f_2-1)=1$. We compute $\gamma:=(v-s')/\rho$ and $C_2$ in each of the five cases and we verify that in none of them condition (6) of Proposition \[final\] is satisfied, which concludes the proof.

Benign biliary strictures are usually treated surgically or endoscopically. When these strictures are not accessible by endoscope or when open repair is not possible, percutaneous dilatation treatment is indicated. The efficacy of treatment is usually evaluated by clinical trial which includes leaving a small non-functional catheter in situ and following liver function tests. The evaluation may be effectively done by the biliary manometric perfusion test. The aim of this paper is to emphasize the importance of percutaneous dilatation treatment of benign biliary strictures with focus on the role of the biliary manometric perfusion test and its future prospects. Based on the literature and our own experience, this article gives a short overview of percutaneous treatment of benign biliary strictures, indications, techniques, complications and results. The treatment of these strictures has an overall success rate between 60 to 90%. This article also explains the biliary manometric test, the technique and its importance in evaluation of treatment success. Benign biliary strictures of the hepatic duct junction or bilio-enteric anastomosis are difficult to treat surgically and are endoscopically inaccessible. Percutaneous treatment by balloon dilatation and long term external-internal drainage is feasible in the majority of these patients. It is minimally invasive, safe and effective. The evaluation of the treatment success may be more effectively done by the manometric perfusion test. It is easy, reliable, less time-consuming giving immediate results, and relatively safe.<|endoftext|>Hammers face competition from Roma for the Paris Saint-Germain ace but the Italians are yet to place a bid

NOT DONE YET

West Ham United have been handed a big boost in their attempts to sign Paris Saint-Germain star Javier Pastore.

The Hammers were reportedly interested in a £20million swoop for the attacking midfielder.

1 West Ham United target Javier Pastore celebrates scoring for Paris Saint-Germain.

An Argentina international, he missed out on a spot in their World Cup 2018 squad after struggling for games in Ligue 1 last season.

And with the player being one of PSG’s biggest earners, it’s almost certain he will be sold as the French club look to balance the books.

Even so, the Hammers face competition from Roma for the 28-year-old’s signature.

But the new boss Manuel Pellegrini has been handed a boost with the news the Italian side are yet to bid for Pastore.

“We’ve only just started talking,” his agent Marcelo Simonian told Pagine Romaniste.

“An offer to PSG? No, there’s still nothing. I haven’t talked to him [Pastore] because we don’t have any offers yet, but everyone likes Roma.

“A renewal? It’s a possibility.”

Tissue regeneration requires not only the replacement of lost cells and tissues, but also the recreation of morphologies and patterns. Skin pigment pattern is a relatively simple system that can allow researchers to uncover the underlying mechanisms of pattern formation. To gain insight into how pigment patterns form, undergraduate students in the senior level course Developmental Biology designed an experiment that assayed pigment patterns in original and regenerated caudal fins of wild-type, striped, and mutant, spotted zebrafish. A majority of the WT fins regenerated with a similar striped pattern. In contrast, the pattern of spots even in the original fins of the mutants varied among individual fish. Similarly, the majority of the spots in the mutants did not regenerate with the same morphology, size, or spacing as the original fins. This was true even when only a small amount of fin was removed, leaving most of the fin to potentially reseed the pattern in the regenerating tissue. This suggests that the mechanism that creates the wild-type, striped pattern persists to recreate the pattern during regeneration. The mechanism that creates the spots in the mutants, however, must include an unknown element that introduces variability.<|endoftext|>How to Vote

Lingering discomfort over public breastfeeding is responsible, in part, for curtailing moms' enthusiasm and driving down breastfeeding rates, research shows. Nurse-ins Wednesday at Target stores drew attention to the cause.

Breastfeeding in public became an issue of debate when a Target employee asked a breastfeeding customer to do it elsewhere. To protest the sexual emphasis of breasts over the practical significance as a means to nourish babies, hundreds of moms gathered in some 250 Target stores across the US to breastfeed, Wednesday.
