text: OBJECTIVES: Structured mentor-led training programmes permit the safe introduction of novice trainees to robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). We outline the first description of parallel learning curves for individual surgical steps and quantify the relative difficulty of each step to propose an order of training in our structured mentoring programme. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A prospective ethically approved database was used to evaluate the operating times of each individual surgical step, in the first 150 RALP cases performed independently by a robotic-naive laparoscopic surgeon. Linear regression analysis was used to quantify the effect of surgeon experience on the operating time for each individual surgical step. RESULTS: Univariate linear regression analysis revealed significant reductions in operating time over the first 150 cases for all of the RALP steps, with the exception of the Rocco stitch. Multivariate linear regression analysis compensated for confounding variables and led to the identification of five surgical steps in which the operating time of each was significantly influenced by experience of the procedure. The most substantial improvement in operating time was seen in the bladder take down step. After taking into account the multivariate regression model, standardized univariate coefficients allowed an order of training to be identified for future RALP novices, of increasing complexity rather than order of surgery, beginning with the bladder take down step and ending with the vesico-urethral anastomosis. CONCLUSIONS: We can begin the training of new robotic-naive surgeons at simpler surgical steps, in which the greatest gains in expediency are made. We anticipate that identifying the more challenging surgical steps from this study and targeting training towards them may expedite our future trainees' proficiency at RALP.


All about Insulated Tools
Tool safety is a vital thing for any professional who uses them. Choosing the right tool is not only a matter of performance but also the protection it gives the user. Therefore, for protection purposes what are the best tools? The answer is straightforward, insulated tools.
Why insulated tools?
Using insulated tools is not a priority for professionals working on live electrical current. From the performance point of view, the same task can be comfortably done by regular tools. The critical difference between the two is that insulated tools over user protection against electrical shock up to 1000 V.
No amount of modification made on conventional tools such as a garden hose to cover the handles or coating the exposed parts with the coating of ordinary cover will give same level protection such as fully certified insulated tools.
How insulated tools are made
Compared to regular tools, insulated tools are more expensive. The process tools go through to give the user a higher level of protection against electrical menaces is both times consuming and complicated.
The most common methods used to manufacture insulated tools are injection molding and dipping. Choosing one device over the other depends on user habit and personal preference.
The dipping process is mostly used by the North America manufacturers such as Gray tools. The process requires that each device is cleaned, trimmed, polished and laser engraved. To achieve maximum results, most of the process steps need a precise and lengthy amount of curing time.
Insulated tools under the dipping process feature two layers of insulation in contrasting colors. Besides the insulation properties, the inner layer acts as a safety indicator. If the coating becomes visible through the outer layer, the tools are not safe to use.
Asian and European insulated manufacturers prefer the injection molding process. These tools feature handles molded from insulation material.
Things to consider when choosing insulated tools
Once you have decided your preferred tool designs, below are some tips for choosing insulated tools.
Choose a reputable tool manufacturerQuality of a tool is not solely judged on insulation method but also the performance of the tool. Tools from established manufacturers are from within their portfolio. Also, the tools have been tried and tested.
Check the gripYou should have a tool that has a secure grip. This minimizes injuries related to tool drop or slippage.
WarrantiesIf all things are standard, the next step is being keen on the warranty. A warranty can make a difference between efficiency and time lost with warranty claims. Reputable brands have a lifetime guarantee for insulated tools.
How to ensure insulated tools are safe to use
Use insulated tools on areas whose temperatures are compatible with the stipulated manufacturer's specifications.
Each time you plan to use insulated tools, perform a visual inspection. If you find nicks, cuts, cracks, or any other damage to the outer layer, stop using the tool until the mess is mended.
Don't dare to touch un-insulated part of the tool that might come into contact with live electrical.
Keep your insulated tools away from cutting vessels such as razors and utility knives. This helps to stop the damage of insulating material.
Keep your tools away from heat sources.
Clean and maintain your insulated tools regularly for reliable services.
In conclusion, insulated tools provide maximum user protection than regular tools. For more information visit the Facom website, it has further details of insulated tools.

I'm new to VTK and I'm struggling to understand what setOrigin and setPosition mean in vtk3DProp. I'm trying to display multiple cubes ( with specific x, y, z lengths and x, y, z co-ordinates with labels) using vtkAnnotatedCubeActor. Unlike vtkCubeSource, I cannot specify a center or x, y, z lengths for vtkAnnotatedCubeActor. As I understand I can use SetOrigin, SetPosition and SetScale to achieve the result I want but I'm failing to understand how these map to each other. Can anybody explain these to me? Any help is greatly appreciated!
My two cents: setOrigin() sets the object's origin with respect to the world whose origin is 0,0,0. setPosition() sets the postion of the actor with respect to its origin. setOrigin() is very useful if your model has local coordinate systems.
For example, suppose you're modeling the Solar System. You place the Sun actor at origin=0,0,0 and position=0,0,0 so it occupies the center of the Solar System. Then you place the Earth actor 150 million km away from the Sun, but you make Earth's origin at the Sun because the former orbits the latter: origin=0,0,0 and position=150000000,0,0. Then you place the Moon actor with respect to the Earth, not the Sun and 400,000km away from the Earth: origin=150000000,0,0 and position=300000,0,0. This way, you don't need to make complicated computations to make the Moon orbit the Earth while it orbits the Sun with only global heliocentric coordinates.
setScale() will scale the XYZ values of the actor with respect to its origin. In the example above, if you apply a 2x,2x,2x scale to the Moon actor, it will double in size and end up twice further away from the Earth.
I hope this helps casting some light on the subject.

Interlayer bonding strength of 3D printed PEEK specimens†
Recent advances in extrusion-based filament 3D printing technology enable the processability of high-performance polymers. Poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) is an important group of high-performance polymer that has been widely used in aerospace, automotive, and biomedical applications. The interlayer bonding strength of 3D printed PEEK is crucial for load-bearing applications, yet studies on 3D printed PEEK are sparse due to processing challenges. In this study, the three-point flexural test is used to study the interlayer bonding strength of 3D-printed PEEK specimens with respect to the printing process parameters, including nozzle temperature, print speed, layer height, and wait-time. A design of experiment (DOE) approach is developed to study correlations between printing parameters and the end-use properties, including flexural stress (σf) and strain at break (εf), flexural modulus (Ef), and crystallinity (χ). Our results show that the nozzle temperature, layer height, and wait-time significantly affect the interlayer bonding strength, with nozzle temperature being the most influential parameter to enhance interlayer bonding strength indicated by a significant increase in σf, εf, and χ. Thermal annealing post-printing is shown to increase the degree of χ and Ef, yet its effect on interlayer bonding strength is minimal, indicating that the interlayer bonding strength is primarily determined during the printing process. This study demonstrates the use of a three-point flexural test integrated with a versatile and robust DOE approach to study the interlayer bonding strength of PEEK to reduce product development time while improving mechanical properties.

A Brief History – Over 90 Years of Tradition and Excellence
Kenilworth Elementary opened in 1920 during the first major growth spurt for the new City of Phoenix. During this period, it was fashionable for public buildings to reflect a community's hopes for the future. Kenilworth was meant to be a statement that a small town would become a major force in the history of Arizona and of the United States. Named after a novel written by Sir Walter Scott, Kenilworth continues to be a shining beacon of educational excellence within the community.
In the early 1970s, when the state began to map the course of the I-10 freeway, Kenilworth was briefly scheduled for demolition, along with many homes. It was saved by a committee of prominent citizens, neighborhood activists, and parents.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the oldest school in Maricopa County, Kenilworth continues to serve students. Extensive improvements were made to the Kenilworth campus and building in 2010

Durham University Parent-Infant Sleep Lab, with support from La Leche League, NCT, and UNICEF UK Baby Friendly Initiative, has launched a new website – Infant Sleep Information Source, or ISIS.
The website has been designed to provide parents and health professionals with clear, evidence-based information on 'normal' sleep, defining normal as "what is biologically expected for humans". It is hoped that this will help both parents who want to make informed choices about how their baby sleeps, and health professionals whose role is to support parents.
The website project is funded by a grant from the ESRC (Economic and Social Research Council) 'Follow-on Fund' to facilitate and support the translation of research conducted by UK and overseas researchers on issues regarding infant sleep (e.g. development, environments, safety) into an online informational resource.
The site contains information on:
- Why babies sleep the way they do
- Sleep development
- Sleep training
- Different sleeping environments
- Coping at night
- Research evidence

Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica L.) has been traditionally used in treatment numerous health problems, including hypertension and hyperlipidemia. The aim of this study was to evaluate potential antihypertensive and antioxidant effects of chronic intake of stinging nettle leaf extract (UE) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR).Design and method:
SHR were divided into 5 experimental groups. Throughout 4 weeks long study, control group (SHRC) received tap water, positive antihypertensive control group (SHR+L) received 10 mg/kg/day of losartan, while SHR+UE10, SHR+UE50 and SHR+UE200 groups were treated with 10, 50, and 200 mg/kg/day of dry aqueous-methanolic UE. Losartan and UE were dissolved in 0.5 ml of water, and given to the animals by gavage. At the end of the treatment mean arterial pressure (MAP) was measured directly in anesthetized animals, and blood samples were collected for erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities. Serum lipid peroxidation level was assessed by total thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances assay (TBARS).Results:
MBP dropped significantly in SHR+L, SHR+UE50, and SHR+UE200 group. Furthermore, all three UE doses significantly increased SOD and CAT activities, but not the GPx activity. Antioxidant enzyme activities remained unchained in SHR+L group. Serum lipid peroxidation level was decreased in all three tested UE doses while it remained unchanged in SHR+L group.Conclusions:
Our results indicate that all three UE doses improve antioxidant enzymes activity and reduce serum lipid peroxidation level in SHR. Furthermore, MAP reduction in SHR+UE50 and SHR+UE200 is similar to losartan therapy. Therefore, UE expresses beneficial effects in genetically induced hypertension.

 3. LicenceMe
What does a licensing system do?
A licence is an official permission or permits to do, use, or own something. A license can be granted by a party to another party as an element of an agreement between those parties. A shorthand definition of a license is "an authorization to use licensed material." Licensing systems manage the creation and validation of licences.
What does LicenceMe do?
LicenceMe allows you to manage game or application licensing by yourself, making you independent of selling platforms. You obtain the possibility to solve the three common licensing questions (and even more):
 - Creation and validation of product keys (Like: SJJDNK-KT6NL4-2RE7DH-NSCYZY)
 - Creation and validation of trials or demos.
 - Creation and validation of licences bond to devices or companies.
But how does LicenceMe do this?
It combines two methods: Partial Key Verification (PKV) (commonly used in the game industry to create product keys) and RSA (an asymmetric encryption / decryption algorithm).
PKV gives you the opportunity to create product keys and simple condition based product keys, for example username/email/… depending.
The RSA encryption allows you to create trials/demos or complex condition based licences (for example device/company/… depending),
by repacking and encrypting the PKV created product key.

Traditional cork best for biodiversity conservation
In recent years, synthetic plastic bottle stoppers have been steadily replacing the traditional cork stoppers used to bottle wines, amid fears that cork extraction leads to declining biodiversity.
A new study published in the journal Biological Conservation (in press), proves exactly the opposite, demonstrating that cork extraction is in fact an economic activity that should be promoted for the benefit of biodiversity. The research is the first to look at the impact of cork extraction on biodiversity, using birds as indicators.
In the cork-making process, long strips of bark are taken from the cork oak, Quercus suber, every 9 years, starting when the tree is about 25 years old. The bark then regenerates throughout the life of the tree. Generally, cork oaks dominate areas of Mediterranean agro-forestry-pastoral systems called montados.
Montados are known to be important breeding habitat for many Mediterranean birds, including endangered species such as the Spanish imperial eagle (Aquila adalberti) and the black stork (Ciconia nigra).
Promotional campaigns for synthetic bottle stoppers claim that demand for cork stoppers is leading to an over-stripping of trees, with negative consequences for montadosand their biodiversity.
However, exactly how debarking cork oaks influences biodiversity has never previously been carefully studied. The new study looks at how bird densities differ between areas of recently extracted cork and older cork which has had time to recover.
The results indicate that although a few species that glean prey from bark have lower densities in recently stripped areas, the majority of species were entirely unaffected by debarking. The authors of the study also highlight that despite showing slight declines immediately after debarking, bark-gleaning species still had stable populations at the landscape level, and that montados remained the most favourable habitat in that region.
The report concludes that, contrary to some claims, cork extraction is compatible with maintaining biodiversity in montados, citing it as an example of the balance that can be achieved between socio-economic development and biodiversity conservation.
Currently, around 100,000 people are employed in cork-related activities in the seven Mediterranean cork-producing countries. But, with the advent of plastic bottle stoppers, the economic viability of montados has been greatly reduced, and land is consequently being abandoned in many areas and replaced with other land uses much less valuable for birds and other biodiversity - a problem which is already affecting areas in Spain, Portugal, France and Italy.

We have a glass fuse for a 12v lighting circuit that has "Siran No. F 13 4A" written on paper inside it. The circuit takes 5.5A at the moment with all the lights switched on without the fuse blowing. Can someone tell me what this is rated at? It seems to be a fast blow (F) so can it really be a 4A?
I figure my options are
13A (so what does the 4 mean?)
4A (why is it still working at 5.5A?)
Thanks for reading, Steve
Edit: Images added as requested. Fuse shown with left side in holder Fuse with writing fuse wire
 - \$\begingroup\$ Can you make a picture? Normally the F13 stays for dimensioning and type and 4A the current. It still can be a slow blow fuse. \$\endgroup\$ – rfkortekaas Dec 31 '15 at 9:59
It might be a 4A fuse allowing 5.5A at the moment. To understand why/how this can happen, you need to know the working of a fuse. The fuse will have some finite resistance R and a current I through it will start adding heat to the fuse as per the equation - IxIxRxt where t is the time. This heat energy will raise the temperature of the fuse and at one point, it will melt. However this isn't the only thing going on in there. The fuse is also losing some of the heat to its surroundings and hence the surroundings also play a role in deciding the current at which the fuse will blow and the time it will take to blow. Here is an excerpt from a fuse sizing guide:
Fuse selection guide
Fast fuse
In your case, one of the following might be the case:
1) Lack of quality control - Maybe the fuse company didn't control the tolerance very well.
2) Fuse is losing too much heat to its surroundings.
3) Fuse is not a fast one and it might blow given enough time.
4) It's not a 4A fuse.
 - \$\begingroup\$ Thanks for that. I'm guessing that the next step would be to figure out the gauge of the wiring and get a suitable fuse? This is the only time I've ever switched on all 5 lights - regular use is 2 or 3 at the most. \$\endgroup\$ – Steve Dec 31 '15 at 12:15

Scapulation dumping refers to the process of dumping scapula's. Little is known about Scapula's (from the latin word Scapulaiincredabilous) except that they are found at incredible depths within the worlds oceans. It is within their home environment that they creep and crawl over the ocean floors gathering the bubbles from shark farts.
Deep sea trawlers net the scapulas, extract the shark farts and encapsulate them in a vat of spirits which are ultimately sold to the manufacturers of spirit levels and used for the bubbles found within those levels.
Extreme caution must be applied throughout the action to avoid the shark farts entering the seamen's blood stream and causing "the bends".
The Scapula's are not harmed during the process and are dumped back into the sea once their valuable cargo's are extracted hence the expression "scapulation dumping".

[[PageOutline(2-5,Contents,pullout)]] = Ticket Tree for Trac = A Trac plugin to display tickets in a tree, organized based on structured ticket titles. Often struggled with thousands of Trac tickets and missing a clear picture of where the problems are? Ticket Tree allows you to categorize your tickets based on the areas affected. Given this categorization, you can then display the tickets in a tree, getting a better picture of the areas and sub-areas with more problems. In addition to that, the tree view lets you navigate your tickets more easily. The categorization mechanism is really simple, as it's based on the ticket title. You will use the dash '-' character to define the category and sub-categories in your tickets. For example, giving the following title to a ticket: User Interface - Main menu - File menu - Unable to click on the "Open File" item will display your ticket in the tree as follows: + User Interface + Main menu + File menu Unable to click on the "Open File" item [[BR]] [[BR]] [[Image(screen2.jpg)]] [[BR]] '''The ticket tree, completely expanded''' [[BR]] [[BR]] [[Image(screen1.jpg)]] [[BR]] '''The ticket tree, partially collapsed''' [[BR]] [[BR]] == Statistics == Next to each category you will see the number of all tickets, and the detail of open and closed tickets, in that category. == Searching and Filtering == You can quickly search and filter tickets in the tree using the "Find" text box. Just start typing text in it to see your ticket tree reducing and highlighting only the tickets matching your text. You can type more than one word: only the tickets matching all of them will be displayed. Special words are "open" and "closed": they will limit the view to only open and closed tickets, respectively. [[BR]] [[BR]] [[Image(screen3.jpg)]] [[BR]] '''Searching for the "process" string in ticket titles''' [[BR]] [[BR]] == The Macro and how to use a Query == The plugin provides a macro, which lets you build custom ticket trees based on specific ticket queries. Used without any parameter, the macro will display a tree with all of the tickets. Edit your preferred wiki page and add the following snippet to use the macro without any parameter. It will display all of your tickets. {{{ [[TicketTree()]] }}} To use a query, add it in parenthesys. For example, the following query will display only tickets in the "new" status. {{{ [[TicketTree(status=new)]] }}} You can use the usual [_URL_ Trac Query syntax] for the query. == Simplified categorization == An interesting feature is the ability to open a ticket in a specific category directly from the tree. Next to each category you'll find a "open ticket" link, clicking which you will be opened the ticket creation page with the ticket's title already built with the corresponding category and sub-categories, and a place-holder for the ticket's short description to follow.

Mouse cursors let you simulate mouse movements in your Articulate Storyline courses. They're great for software training and simulations.
Choose from a gallery of cursor styles. Add sounds and visual effects. Control the path, timing, and speed of mouse movements. You're in command.
- Adding Mouse Cursors
- Changing Cursor Styles
- Adding Mouse-Clicking Sounds
- Adding Visual Click Effects
- Changing the Path of Mouse Movements
- Changing the Timing and Speed of Mouse Movements
There are two ways to add mouse cursors to a project.
- Storyline automatically adds mouse cursors to screen recordings when you insert them as step-by-step slides. You can adjust mouse cursor styles, effects, paths, timings, and speeds. (See the following sections for details.)
- You can also add mouse cursors manually, just where you need them.
To add a mouse cursor manually, go to the Insert tab on the ribbon, click Mouse, and choose a cursor style. It'll automatically appear on your slide.
Tip: Only one mouse cursor can be added to each slide, and it must be added to the base layer of the slide. Mouse cursors aren't supported on layers or slide masters.
To change the style of a cursor, select the mouse object on the slide, go to the Format tab on the ribbon, and choose a different style from the Cursors gallery.
Want to use your own cursor image? Just click Browse for Cursors at the bottom of the Cursors gallery, then select a file on your computer with a *.cur or *.ani extension.
When the mouse reaches the end of its path, it can play a single-click or double-click sound, or you can omit the clicking sound altogether.
Select the mouse object on the slide, go to the Format tab on the ribbon, and click None, Single, or Double.
To show an animated click effect at the end of a mouse movement, go to the Format tab on the ribbon and mark the box to Show Click Effects. Uncheck it if you don't want to simulate a mouse click.
Choose the direction of the mouse movement and whether its path is curved or straight.
- Select the mouse object on the slide. When a mouse object is selected, you'll see its path represented by a black line.
- Go to the Format tab on the ribbon and mark the Straight Pointer Path box to make the mouse move in a straight line. Uncheck it to move the mouse in a curved line.
- To set the direction of a mouse cursor's motion, use the Enter From selector to choose an entrance point.
Tip: If the Enter From selector is grayed-out, it's because the direction of the mouse movement is already determined by the previous slide. When you have consecutive slides with mouse cursors, the end point of the first will be the beginning point of the next.
A mouse cursor is visible for the entire duration of a slide. However, you can change when its movement starts and ends. You can also make it slow down before the end of its path.
- Select the mouse object in the timeline.
- Drag its left edge along the timeline to adjust when its movement begins. Drag its right edge along the timeline to adjust when its movement ends.
- Unlike other Storyline objects, the beginning and ending of a cursor's movement is controlled by the timeline, not the appearance and disappearance of the cursor itself.
- By adjusting the timing of a cursor's movement, you're also controlling its speed. A shorter duration results in a faster motion, and a longer duration results in a slower motion.
- If you want the mouse movement to slow down just before the end of its path, go to the Format tab on the ribbon and mark the box to Reduce Speed Before Click.

You might be wondering why researchers were so interested in this topic. The reason might not be what you'd think. Knowledge of breast size variations among different countries is used by the clothing industry. They use these numbers to market and develop products with global applications. The data are also used by other industries, as well as cosmetic surgeons.
The Average American Bra Size
According to this article from Medical Daily, the average bra size in America is now a 34DD, compared to an average size of 34B only 20 years ago.
Why Has The Average Size Gone Up?
While the number of breast augmentations have gone up significantly in the last twenty years, they aren't enough to account for such a substantial rise in the average American breast size. There are several theories about the recent rise in bust sizes.
If you look at the numbers on the chart, you'll probably notice that the nations closer to the top are in North America and Europe, which, on the whole have higher incomes and better nutrition. These countries also tend to have taller people, and a higher average weight.
This is probably one of the most accurate theories about boob sizes.
Some people, like the author of this article from Green Prophet, attribute the change in breast size to nutrition, including the relatively recent addition of hormones to dairy and meat.
This might sound like some far-out conspiracy theory. However, countries like the USA and England do consume a lot of dairy. Asian countries consume almost no milk or cheese. There are many naturally occurring hormones in dairy that mimic estrogen. In many of these countries, girls are starting puberty at younger ages.
This doesn't mean that their theory is 100% valid, but it does raise some questions.
Proper Bra Fitting
Other sources, like this article from the Today Show, argue that women's breast sizes haven't gotten substantially bigger.
Instead, they say that women are only recently finding out their true bra sizes. Almost ten years ago, Oprah did an entire episode teaching women to find their actual bra sizes, and it turned out that many women who thought they were a B ended up being a D or larger.
It might not come as a surprise that America and Europe have the largest breast sizes. However, with new technology and GMOs, more countries are getting better nutrition. The question is: will they start to experience larger breast sizes, too? If theories about hormones in meat and dairy are correct, the numbers might not shift substantially. But, if it's more of a question about nutrition in general, it might.
In another 20 years, the list might become a little less top-heavy (no pun intended).

Why Do Piano Keys Stick?
There are 1000 different reasons why piano keys stick but most commonly is a change in humidity or temperature. As you change the environment around the piano it will have to acclimate which can effect the keys.
Typically when you start running your A/C or Heat for the season or after you move a piano, the keys can stick for a short time. If your keys are sticking longer then a week, there's a different problem that needs to be addressed.

3D Facet Joint Kinematics In-vivo and Spinal Degeneration and Its Correlation to the Lower Back Pain
2013-10-31T00:00:00Z (GMT) by
The facet joints play a major role in lumbar segmental motion that is susceptible to morphological changes, eventually leading to segmental instability. Recent advancements in medical imaging enabled the development of innovative methods to study in-vivo three-dimensional kinematics and morphology of the facet joint. The aim of this study was to describe facet motion in-vivo using image-based methods. This study demonstrates coupled motion for the facets during axial torsion. Eigenvector analysis allowed identification of each vertebra's principal orientation. This reference datum determined a local coordinate system for the individual facet joint surfaces. This work contributes to the field with high-accuracy in vivo baseline data.


unipotent group scheme
An element rr of a ring with multiplicative unit is called unipotent element if r1r-1 is nilpotent.
Theorem and Definition
Let GG be an affine k-group. Then the following conditions are equivalent.
 1. The completion of the Cartier dual D^(G)\hat D(G) of GG is a connected formal group.
 2. Any multiplicative subgroup of GG is zero.
 3. For any subgroup HH of GG with H0H\neq 0 we have Gr k(H,α k)0Gr_k(H,\alpha_k)\neq 0.
 4. Any algebraic quotient of GG is an extension of subgroups of α k\alpha_k.
 5. (If p0)p\neq 0), ImV G n=e\cap Im V^n_G =e.
An affine group scheme satisfying these conditions is called unipotent group scheme.

Background and objective Laparoscopic and open surgery have been compared with conflicting results regarding their systemic responses. The sensitivity of biochemical markers that are used to discriminate between the stress responses to different types of surgery varies from study to study. We wanted to evaluate the stress response and the sensitivity of clinical and biochemical stress markers in patients undergoing laparoscopically assisted vaginal or abdominal hysterectomy.
Methods We performed a case-control study with patients undergoing laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy (n=20) or abdominal hysterectomy (n=20). Pain scores were assessed at rest and during coughing, and active leg elevation and fatigue scores using a visual analogue scale. In 10 patients of each group, haematocrit, white cell count, C-reactive protein, glucose, cortisol, adrenocorticotrophic hormone, β-endorphin immunoreactivity, interleukin-6 and urine excretion of epinephrine and norepinephrine were measured preoperatively and during the first 44 postoperative hours.
Results The most sensitive symptoms and markers of the systemic response were pain scores during mobilization, fatigue scores, C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 (P < 0.01 in all comparisons). Pain scores at rest, and all other laboratory markers of the systemic response, did not discriminate between the two types of surgery.
Conclusion Follow-up of postoperative pain scores during mobilization and fatigue levels might be an easy tool for the evaluation of postoperative recovery. Using an identical anaesthetic technique, the neuroendocrine response was of the same magnitude after both types of surgery.

Mount Vinson lies in the southern portion of the Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains in Antarctica. At nearly eighty degrees South, it is a mere eight hundred miles from the South Pole. Mount Vinson, at 16,067 feet, has the distinction of being the highest point in our planet's last great wilderness, as well as being in one of the most inaccessible ranges in the world. In fact, until recently, climbing Mount Vinson was logistically almost impossible.
It was not until 1985, when Adventure Network International started providing full logistical support for expeditions to the Antarctic interior, that Mt. Vinson was considered more accessible. Aventuras Patagonicas Expeditions to Mt. Vinson will be supported by ANI aircrafts.
We have been successfully guiding Mt Vinson since we began this program several seasons ago.
Climbing Vinson is challenging! The expedition requires a sincere commitment, considering the remoteness of the region. The climate poses a great challenge as well. Mt. Vinson is located in one of the coldest climates on earth, with temperatures ranging from -30F and even -40F below zero. Participants must have experience with winter mountaineering and be in excellent physical condition.

- Name Groene Wissel
Groene Wissel is the name of several shorter paths in the Netherlands. They usually have their starting point in the center of a city, often a railway station, and from there they explore the outskirts and eventually leave the urban area alltogether. From this outer orbit the trails return to their origin, choosing a different route. Distance is usually between 10 and 20 kilometer.

More precisely, we consider a special type of ultrametric with hierarchical structure called a k-hierarchically well-separated tree (k-HST). We show that any k-HST can be embedded with distortion at most 1+O(1/k) in ℓp O(k2logn). These facts have implications to embeddings of finite metric spaces in low dimensional ℓp spaces in the context of metric Ramsey-type theorems.

Publication Order of Standalone Novels
The Sherlockian (2010)Hardcover Paperback Kindle
The Last Days of Night (2016)Hardcover Paperback Kindle
The Holdout (2020)Hardcover Paperback Kindle
Graham Moore is an American historical fiction author and screenwriter. He is best known for "The Sherlockian," the debut historical fiction novel he published in 2010 and "The Imitation Game" an Academy Award-winning television script that was based on a biography on Andrew Hodges. His mother was chief of staff for Michelle Obama while his father was an insurance defense lawyer. He was born and spent much of his childhood on the north side of Chicago and had a happy childhood despite the fact that his parents divorced when he was barely in his teens. In 2016, he published his second novel
"The Last Days of Night" that tells of the rivalry between George Westinghouse and Thomas Edison set in New York City in 1888. The story is told from the perspective of Paul Cravath who was attorney to Westinghouse. The novel was made into a film whose script was written by that Moore.
Growing up in North Chicago, Graham Moore got interested in mystery stories as a child when he would read Agatha Christie novels that his mother brought home. Since he always loved music, he intended to find a career in music and hence spent much of his time as a teenager playing and reading about various bands. When he joined Columbia University, he still wanted to work in music though he was starting to get interested in literature having attended classes where he read Western classics such as "The Odyssey" and "The Iliad." However, his interest in music was stronger and thus he kept at it and when he graduated, he built a studio that he worked in with his friends. Moore was in charge of collecting equipment and was also sound engineer when he was not playing with a bunch of bands around New York. He had always been fascinated by Sherlock Holmes but something changed in 2004. A leading archeologist announced that they had found Arthur Conan Doyle's diary which was something of a Holy Grail from Sherlock fans. He was so fascinated with the discovery that he started writing the manuscript for a novel that would later become "The Sherlockian." Soon he was angling to become an author though he still worked in the studio to make rent and wrote whenever he had free time.
In 2004, Ben Epstein who was a student at New York University film school and Graham Moore's best friend made an interesting suggestion. They had been out drinking and were just telling foolish jokes that got funnier as the night wore on. It had not been such a good joke when it all started but over the course of the night, it developed into an idea for a comedy. Moore had never written anything except for a few short stories and the manuscript for his first novel. However, Epstein was adamant that they had to write the script for the comedy he was making for MTV together. While he did not know anything about scriptwriting Graham thought it would be fun. And so for several years he became a scriptwriter during the day working with his friend Epstein and in the studio during the night. When their studio closed in 2008, he had made a few connections in Hollywood after having written several scripts. His agent invited him to go live in Los Angeles. At this time, all he wanted to do was write novels but the agent assured him that he would find him a job to pay the rent while he completed his novel. The agent paid his airfare and got him his first job writing on the staff of "10 Things I Hate About You" that was airing on ABC. "The Sherlockian" was published in 2010 even though he was still better known as a scriptwriter in Hollywood. He then published "The Last Days of Night" in 2016 to establish his name as one of the most promising literary authors.
Graham Moore's "The Sherlockian" is set in 1893 where Londoners bought their magazines hoping to read of Sherlock Holmes's next adventure, only to find that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had killed the indomitable detective. The unthinkable had happened and London descends into mourning with many railing against Doyle and crowds of people walked around sporting black armbands. But then Doyle had redeemed himself when in 1901 he resurrected the beloved detective. While he had insinuated that the death of Holmes in the novel "The Final Problem" was final, he never bothered to explain why he later changed his mind. After his death, the people in charge of his estate learned that one of his diaries was nowhere to be found. It went missing for decades and had become something of a "Holy Grail" for Sherlock Holmes fans. When Harold White is inducted into "The Baker Street Irregulars," he is thrust into the search for the missing journal. But when a literary scholar is found dead supposedly murdered, Harold uses the methods and wisdom he had amassed from reading Holmes in a quest to find the killer and the missing journal.
Graham Moore's "The Last Days of Night" is set in 1888, where the electric light just made its debut but many streets are still lit by the flicker of gas lamps. The person who controls the technology to convert night into day is set to make a vast fortune and write their name in the books of history. Paul Cravath who is a fresh-faced lawyer out of Columbia has just taken an almost impossible case. He is the attorney for George Westinghouse, who is being sued by Thomas Edison that accuses him of stealing his light bulb invention. By taking the case, he gets the opportunity to rub shoulders with the movers and shakers of New York who conduct insidious dealings in secret. His opponent Edison is a dangerous and wily man who has a lot of resources to call upon including newspapers, private spies and one of the richest men in America, J.P. Morgan. But just like Edison, the young lawyer is determined to win no matter the cost. In his obsessive quest for winning the case, he meets with the brilliant but eccentric inventor Nikola Tesla who may just be the man who knows how to beat Edison. Beautiful opera singer Agnes Huntington will also prove a great ally, though the risks he has to take are ever greater as no one is ever what they seem to be.
"The Holdout" by Graham Moore is the story of a fifteen-year-old heiress named Jessica Silver. She has just inherited a real estate fortune worth billions but then on her way home from school, she goes missing with the prime suspect a 25-year-old African American man named Bobby Nock. The ensuing trial traps straight into what preoccupies most Americans: law enforcement, race, sex, class and the garish sins of the famous and the rich. The prosecution believes that they have their man until a young woman named Maya Seale convinces he jurors that Nock did not commit the crime. But their "not guilty" verdict comes back to haunt all them for years. A decade later, the jury reassembles when a network pays them to do a docuseries and Maya who has gone back to school and is now an attorney also joins the series. But then one of the jurors turns up dead in Maya's room and it seems someone is framing her for the murder. She now needs to get to the bottom of a case that seems to have taken a life of its own and prove her innocence while at it. The current investigation soon has threads tying into what happened ten years back as secrets threaten to be revealed putting all involved in danger.

Is vinegar as effective as bleach for disinfecting?
Vinegar can be used as a safer bleach alternative for some applications, such as cleaning, and research has shown it can be effective against some bacteria and viruses, including the flu.
Vinegar is not a registered disinfectant, however, and does not kill dangerous bacteria like staphylococcus..
Can I mix ammonia with water?
Even diluted in water, as is recommended for most cleaning purposes, ammonia can still be harmful. The most important safety rule to remember is: Never mix ammonia with chlorine bleach. … Always be sure to wear chemical resistant gloves and ventilate the area well when using ammonia.
What can you not mix with ammonia?
Bleach and ammonia produce a toxic gas called chloramine. "It causes the same symptoms as bleach and vinegar — along with shortness of breath and chest pain," says Forte. Many glass and window cleaners contain ammonia, so never mix those with bleach.
How do you make disinfectant spray with ammonia?
Create a 1:1 dilution of ammonia and warm water in a spray bottle. Spray it on surfaces, such as a greasy countertop, and allow it to sit for about five minutes. Wipe away with a paper towel. Rinse with a spray of cool, plain distilled water and wipe away with a paper towel.
Can you dilute ammonia?
Large volumes of water dilute ammonia, but form highly corrosive ammonia hydroxide solution. Avoid using water unless absolutely necessary to protect life (evacuation or rescue). … Use a dilution rate of 10 to 1 water to ammonia (2 to 1 for maximum dilution of ammonia to water).
What Cannot be mixed with bleach?
16 Common Product Combinations You Should Never MixBleach + Vinegar = Toxic Chlorine Gas. … Ammonia + Bleach = Toxic Chloramine Vapors. … Rubbing Alcohol + Bleach = Chloroform. … Hydrogen Peroxide + Vinegar = Parecetic Acid. … Baking Soda + Vinegar = Ineffective Cleaning Solution. … Two Different Battery Brands = Corrosion. … Medicine + Grapefruit Juice = Adverse Effects.More items…•
What does ammonia do to your body?
Exposure to high concentrations of ammonia in air causes immediate burning of the eyes, nose, throat and respiratory tract and can result in blindness, lung damage or death. Inhalation of lower concentrations can cause coughing, and nose and throat irritation.
What naturally kills black mold?
Baking Soda. Used with vinegar and water or alone with water, baking soda is effective at removing mold naturally. Dissolve baking soda into water or water-and-vinegar solution, and spray onto surface. Let it sit, then scrub and wipe with a damp cloth.
Is it OK to mix ammonia and baking soda?
You can keep them looking their best with a simple mixture of baking soda and ammonia. Cast iron fixtures typically have a baked-on porcelain enamel. You can't use abrasive cleaning products because they can damage the finish. … Just mix 1/4 cup of ammonia and 1/4 cup of baking soda into a paste.
What happens if you pee in bleach?
Chlorine gas can also be released when bleach is mixed with urine, such as when cleaning the area around a toilet or when pets stains are cleaned. Both chloramine and chlorine gases are immediately irritating with a very pungent odor, causing watering of the eyes, runny nose and coughing.
Can ammonia kill you?
Anhydrous ammonia is compressed into a clear colorless liquid when used as fertilizer. … If you inhale it and it gets in your windpipe and your lungs it will cause burns there that's what will usually kill you – if you inhale concentrated ammonia gas," said Nebraska Regional Poison Center's Ron Kirschner.
Can mixing bleach and vinegar kill you?
Although bleach is a strong disinfectant, and vinegar dissolves mineral deposits and kills many types of mold, fungi and bacteria, combining the two can be dangerous. Mixing bleach with an acid such as vinegar creates chlorine gas, a toxic chemical that can be deadly at high levels.

A junior exploration company is using land surveys from the 1870's to locate copper deposits in South Australia's historic Burra mining region.
The Australian reports that Phoenix Copper (ASX:PNX) hopes to use the old maps to uncover major copper deposits in the area around Burra, which is Australia's oldest mining town and was once the source for 10% of the world's copper
The land surveys were prepared by mine captain Robert Sanders in 1873 towards the end of Burra's heyday as one of Australia's most lucrative mining communities.
Burra first rose to prominence in the mining industry following the discovery of outcroppings of copper by two shepherds in 1845.
By 1850 the Burra region's Monster Mine was Australia's largest commercial mining operation, producing 23,000 tonnes of ore and supplying 10% of global copper.
Phoenix chief geologist Mark Manly says that despite a second period of mining activity in the 1970's the region has been little explored since the development of modern drill rigs.
On the basis of the 19th century land surveys Phoenix has commenced drilling less than a kilometre from the Monster Mine, with the hope of resurrecting the town's historic mining industry.

Minnesota Cancels Moose Hunting as Population Plummets
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Minnesota officials are canceling the state's moose hunting season because of a sharp decline in the moose population.
Department of Natural Resources officials say their annual aerial survey to estimate the moose population was "extremely disappointing," at about 2,760 animals.
Minnesota's moose population was estimated at a little more than 4,200 in last winter's survey. That number was already down by half from 2006.
Researchers are studying why one of Minnesota's signature animals is dwindling. Scientists think warmer weather, parasites and disease are contributing factors.

Bank Guarantee
Bank Guarantee
A bank guarantee is an assurance given by the bank to any third person wherein the bank agrees to undertake the risk of payment on behalf of the debtor to the creditor. The parties enter into a contract of guarantee, and the bank acts as a surety. Bank guarantees are commonly used for business and personal transactions and seek to protect the creditor from suffering any financial losses in case of default in payment by the debtor. This guarantee secures the creditors and helps businesses grow. Under a contract of bank guarantee, the creditor becomes the beneficiary and is entitled to claim the advanced amount from the bank. If the bank fails to fulfil its obligations under the BG, the creditor can proceed to bring an action before the Courts.
Validity period and claim period of a Bank Guarantee
The validity period is the period of existence or the lifetime of a bank guarantee (BG). A beneficiary (the creditor) can make a written demand to the bank in furtherance of the BG during the validity period. However, in certain cases, the BGs contain a clause that lays an additional period within which the claims can be made. This grace period is known as the claim period. Though it is generally expected that these dates are different, still there is no compulsion to keep both the dates different, as such, the expiry date of the claim period ranges from one to twelve months after the validity period.
Liability of banks upon invocation of bank guarantee
A bank that is a party to the BG undertakes an obligation to make payment when the beneficiary creditor makes a legitimate claim within the validity period of the concerned BG. By virtue of the contract of guarantee, a creditor becomes entitled to claim payment of the bank when the borrower defaults and can even enforce this claim before the Courts. Before making payment upon the presentation of a claim, the banks first notify the debtor of the same and requires them to arrange for funds to pay the claimed amount. However, if the borrower fails, the Bank has to pay.
In UP State Sugar Corporation Vs Sumac International Ltd, the Supreme Court held that when an unconditional bank guarantee is provided or accepted, the beneficiary is entitled to realize such bank guarantee regardless of the ongoing disputes and a bank guarantee constituted a bargain between the two parties, by which the bank unconditionally had to pay the amount in question.
Section 128 of the Indian Contract Act talks about the concept of a surety's liability, and it states that the liability of the surety is co-extensive with that of the principal debtor unless it is proved otherwise by the contract.
In M/S Adani Agri Fresh Ltd Vs Mahaboob Sharif & Ors, it was highlighted by the Supreme Court that the bank guarantee is an unconditional one, and the respondent thus cannot raise any dispute and prevent the appellant from encashing the bank guarantee.
Similarly, in the case of Ansal Engineering Projects Ltd Vs Tehri Hydro Development Corporation Ltd, the Supreme Court stated that a bank guarantee is a separate contract entered into between a bank and a beneficiary and is not subject to underlying transaction and also that since the bank had unequivocally agreed to pay on demand, the liability of the bank was absolute and unconditional and could not be circumvented in any manner whatsoever.
When the question of liability of bank in case the beneficiary presents a claim during the claim period arises, one has to consider Section 28 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872. Section 28 lays down that any agreement in restraint of legal proceedings shall be void. However, exception 3 to this section saves the guarantee agreement of a bank or financial institution from the application of the general rule. Moreover, the Limitation Act, 1963 provides for a time limit of one year for a normal bank guarantee, but on the other hand, it has prescribed thirty years for all suits to be instituted by the government. This prescribed limitation period made the banks apprehensive about Section 28 of the Indian Contract, which before the amendment of 2013, had declared all agreements containing stipulation of discharge of liability as null and void.
Prior to 1997, the situation was that according to Section 28, any agreement through which any party was restricted from enforcing its right in respect of any contract by the usual legal proceedings in tribunal or even limited the time within which this could be done was void to that extent. It was in 1997 that an amendment to Section 28(b) of the Indian Contract Act was made to provide for agreements that extinguished the rights of any party or discharge any party from any liability under or in respect of any contract on the expiry of a specified period to restrict any party from enforcing its rights.
It can be seen through the judgement pronounced in Union of India v. Bhagwati Cottons Ltd, in which the Court held that any agreement containing a clause stipulating that rights of a party shall be suspended and another party shall be discharged from liability if the claim is not filed within the stipulated time, would be hit by the 1997 amendment.
Despite this decision by the Division Bench of the Bombay High Court, in the case of Explore Computers Pvt Ltd v. CALS ltd and Anr, the Court took a different stance by stating that though the clause within the agreements specifying the time limit within which beneficiary has to enforce its claim within sometime after expiry of bank guarantee is considered to be void in nature but the clause terminating the forfeiture or suspension of the right of claim is not brought within the specified time after the expiry of bank guarantee is valid.
In Union of India & Ors. v. IndusInd Bank Ltd & Ors, while upholding the validity of a clause limiting the claim period for the assertion of a right, the Supreme Court observed that it's clearly stated under the law that a clause that restricts the Limitation Period is not always hit with the aid of using Section 28 of the Indian Contract Act. The amendments to Section 28 are a substantive change in the law which provides that even where an agreement seeks to extinguish the rights or discharges the liability of any party to an agreement having the effect of restricting such party from enforcing their rights on the expiry of a stipulated period would be void to that extent.
It was because of these conflicting judgments that an amendment was brought in the Indian Contract Act in the year 2013, i.e. exception 3 to Section 28, which was responsible for providing validity to the clause in the contracts which provided for extinguishment of rights or discharge from any liability, the period of which should not be a less than one year from the date of occurring or nonoccurring of a specified event. In the IndusInd case, it was held that the effect of this exception is to limit the period provided under the Limitation Act from three years to one year in the case of banks and financial institutions which issue a guarantee.
In the case of Kaushalya Rant v. Gopal Singh, it was held that Explanation 3 of Section 28 is dealing with a special branch, i.e. the Bank Guarantee and is confined to a specific branch and therefore, to that extent and in terms of statutory interpretation, exception 3 is a special law and as such would prevail over the Limitation Act, 1963.
Furthermore, the Reserve Bank of India, in a circulation dated 9th October 2015, has confirmed the 2013 amendment by stating that the Banks are not allowed to keep margin money after the invocation period.
Thus, the Banks may be discharged of their liability in the following two conditions:
 1. If no claim is made within a specified claim period or,
 2. If Claim is made within the period of validity of bank guarantee and not less than one year is provided for enforcement of the guarantee from a specified event, after which the bank shall be discharged of its liabilities.
Rights of Parties involved in Bank Guarantee
A Bank Guarantee is considered as a tripartite agreement between three main parties, namely, the principal debtor (the customer), beneficiary (the creditor) and the surety/guarantor (the bank).
Rights of Surety
All those rights made available to the parties to the contract are made available to the surety. These rights are as the following:
 1. Right Against Principal Debtor:
 1. Right of Subrogation: According to Section 140 of the Indian Contract Act, if there is a default by the debtor in making the payment and the surety makes the payment, the surety is invested with all the rights creditor/ beneficiary had against the principal debtor. This is known as the principle of Subrogation.
 2. Right of Indemnity: According to Section 145 of the Indian Contract Act, if the surety (bank) fulfils the principal debtor's obligation by paying the amount in case of its default, then after payment is made, the bank can recover the same from the principal debtor. This applies only to the sums paid rightfully and not to the sums paid wrongfully.
 2. Rights Against Creditor:
 1. Right to Securities: Section 141 of ICA prescribes that once the surety has performed its obligation in case of default by the debtor, he is subrogated to all the rights available to the creditor/ beneficiary against the debtor. Similarly, the surety is entitled to the benefit of every security which the creditor has against the principal debtor at that time when the contract of surety is entered into. It is irrespective of whether the surety was aware of the existence of securities at that time.
 2. Loss of Securities: It means that if the creditor loses securities, then the surety is discharged from

ANNOUNCE: hspec-0.8.0 (command line runner and nested specs)
hspec version 0.8.0, Behavior Driven Development for Haskell, is now available!
This latest release includes a command line runner that can search through directory trees for specs and support for nested specs.
From the hspec specs:
the "describe" function - takes a description of what the behavior is for - groups behaviors for what's being described a nested description - has it's own specs - may be displayed indented
And from the hspec command line runner:
hspec searches through files or folders and runs any top level declarations with a type of 'Specs' or 'IO Specs'. Monadic specs must be fully qualified, list-based specs may be qualified or not. You can specify specific *.hs files or directories to search through or let hspec search the current directory tree for specs to run. usage: hspec [OPTIONS] [TARGET_LIST] -f FORMAT --format=FORMAT Specifies what format to use for output. By default the specdoc format is used. FORMAT can be silent, progress, specdoc, or failed_examples. -o FILE_NAME --output=FILE_NAME Specifies the file to use for output. By default output is directed to stdout. FILE_NAME can be stdout or stderr for those handles. -e REGEX --example=REGEX Only execute examples with a matching description. By default all examples are executed. -c TRUE|FALSE --color=TRUE|FALSE Force output to have or not have red and green color. By default color is only used when output is directed to stdout. --runfile=FILE_NAME Use a specific file to log the last run results. This is read when using the --rerun option. By default the file ".hspecLastRun" logs the last run results. -r RERUNOPT --rerun=RERUNOPT Rerun a specific subset of specs. This looks at the last run file specified by -runfile. RERUNOPT can be "all" or "failed". By default the last run file is ignored and all specs are run. -h, -? --help Display this help. -v --verbose Display detailed information about what hspec is doing. --specs Include the specs for the hspec command line runner itself. When used, the target list will not default to the current directory. A non-empty target list will still be searched though.

file: TORUS1:[GLL_RAW.INFO]HOW_TO_MAKE_EUV_SAVEFILE.DOC Nov 23, 1998 - KES Updated Mar 28, 2001 - kes An IDL program, TORUS1:[GLL_RAW.SOFTWARE]WRITE_EUV_SAVEFILE.PRO, is used to create the IDL SAVEFILEs containing EUV data. This program creates a Structure containing the Start RIM time, the End RIM time, and the data matrix properly configured based on the Fixed Pattern Noise Table used to obtain the data (the data file supplies the knowledge of of which table was in use). This program was written by Jeremy Gebben expresly for Ian Stewart's analysis of the EUV data and includes the 'hotpixel' correction. An update was added Mar 28, 2001 (by Simmons) so that separate SAVE files of one observation type could be generated. You may now also use an "*" for any, or all, of the three parameters OB, ORBIT, and OBS_TYPE. Run the TORUS1:[GLL_RAW.SOFTWARE]WRITE_EUV_SAVEFILE.PRO in IDL. The program asks for the following parameters: ; OB = 2-character for Sequence Segment, for example: ; we get files named g02c_euv_c3aurmap01.dat ; ^^ -- thus OB is C3 ; ORBIT = 4-character name for Orbit, J0CD, G02C etc... ; ORS_TYPE = 3-character Observation type, such as AUR, ANS or NAN. The program might report an arithmetic error but this is not significant to the SAVE file creation. Two SAVE files are generated: a Vax VMS file and an XDR SAVE file. The VMS file has the file-extension ".IDLSAVE" and the XDR file has the file-extension ".XDR". The two files for all Aurora data from all orbits are EUV_ALL_AUR.IDLSAVE and EUV_ALL_AUR_IDLSAVE.XDR. Another program, TORUS1:[GLL_RAW.INFO]JEREMY_EUV_IMAG.PRO;2, can be used to view the images stored in the above SAVEFILEs. Run the IDL program and then set the keyword params for the calling seq: image,file=file,range=range,min=min,max=max,sqrt=sqrt you might start with: image,file='filename' The other parameters are: RANGE is the pixel range to use (an array of indices to use (0-128)) and is returned by the program based on the pixel MIN/MAX values set in the call. If a SQRT assignment is made in the call then the image counts will be compressed with a sqrt function. NOTE: Both programs use the Vax logical "SW" to define the Galileo software directory located at "TORUS1:[GLL_RAW.SOFTWARE]".

Absorption of Radium and Thorium from New Mexico Uranium Mill Tailing Solutions.
Beard-HR; Salisbury-HB; Shirts-MB
The Bureau of Mines investigated the absorption of radium and thorium from waste uranium leach liquor by clays and other materials. This work was conducted in support of the Bureau's goal of minimizing the environmental conflicts, impacts, and occupational hazards associated with mining and milling operations. Tailing and soil samples from New Mexico were evaluated for their potential to absorb radium and thorium from tailing liquors. Absorption ranged from 0 to 97 pct for radium and 0 to 60 pct for thorium. Some samples that readily absorbed radium were contacted with various salt solutions that could be present in tailing solutions to determine whether desorption would be a potential problem. The desorption of radium ranged from 0 to 75 pct. An alpha spectrometric method was used to determine the radium and thorium concentrations in the solutions and solids.

How can I denote a limit in LaTeX, such as $f(n) \rightarrow_{n \rightarrow \infty} 0$?
And when I have a fraction and so on and I want to use an absolute value $| \frac{x}{y}|$, how can I make the $|$ signs much bigger (similarly to \left( and \right))?

For the first question, you can typeset limits using the \lim command:
\[ \lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{1}{x} \]
For the second question, the \left, \middle and \right commands can be used to achieve vertical extension of some delimiters:
\[ \left\lvert\frac{1}{2} \right\rvert \]
To obtain fine control on the size of extensible delimiters there are also the following command groups (which in some circumstances, must replace the \left \middle \right construct):
\bigl - \bigm - \bigr
\Bigl - \Bigm - \Bigr
\biggl - \biggm - \biggr
\Biggl - \Biggm - \Biggr
These groups provide delimiters of increasing sizes; the first column gives four sizes of opening symbols; the second column gives four sizes of relation symbols, and the third column gives four sizes of closing symbols..
There are some cases in which the above commands should replace the \left, \right ones: when the latter produce delimiters which are too big, and when there are several delimiters together. Compare the result of
\[ \left\lvert\lvert x\rvert -\lvert y\rvert \right\rvert \]
\[ \bigl\lvert\lvert x\rvert -\lvert y\rvert \bigr\rvert \]
In the first case, the inner and outer delimiters have the same size and the result can be ambiguous; in the second case, the outer delimiters are bigger, improving readability.

Use the \DeclarePairedDelimiter command from the mathtools package. It has a lot of other usefull stuff also (one of those must have toolboxes)
 \abs{\frac{x}{y}} \quad % same as \lvert\frac{x}{y}\rvert
 \abs[\Big]{\frac{x}{y}} \quad % same as \Bigl|\frac{x}{y}\Bigr|
 \abs*{\frac{x}{y}} % same as \left|\frac{x}{y}\right|

Probably you need amsmath's \xrightarrow: after \usepackage{amsmath} you can say
f(n) \xrightarrow{n\to\infty} 0
The condition will go above the arrow, which will be extended to accommodate the condition. If you want the condition below the arrow, use the optional argument:
f(n) \xrightarrow[n\to\infty]{} 0
(don't forget the trailing pair of braces). Follow Gonzalo regarding the absolute value.

I always use $\xrightarrow{\scriptscriptstyle\!\!n\rightarrow\infty}$, but this is too tall and increases the skip between lines (ugly). How can I lower the position (closer to the arrow) and further decrease the font size of $\scriptscriptstyle\!\!n\rightarrow\infty$? – Leon Aug 1 '11 at 20:51
_USER_: maybe a new question is appropriate. – egreg Aug 1 '11 at 21:51
As for your first question, I think you're looking for
instead of the suggestions of the other answers. What they state is correct notation, but not what you described. I'm not saying this is the best solution though, the explicit limit is nicer in most cases.

Olin> is completely broken.
Just for the record (not that I think this has any bearing on SRFI
39), let me point out a few things:
- For at least one parameter (the current exception handler), we know
 that duplicating the old binding is the wrong thing.
- Generally, this implicit copying of references to an object harbors
 the risk of creating space leaks. When you create a thread, you
 hang on to all to its parents' parameters---even those you don't
 know about.
Olin> Spawning a thread, calling a function -- it's a dynamic nesting.
- This sentence sounds nice on the surface, but you provide no
 arguments to support it. In fact, I'd say that spawning a thread is
 obviously *not* a dynamic nesting.
 In Scheme 48 and scsh, spawning a thread means handing a thunk to
 the scheduler. The *scheduler* calls that thunk, not the process
 parent. Most certainly, the continuation of the thunk of the
 spawned thread isn't the continuation of the spawning expression in
 the parent in any thread system that's like SRFI 18.
 This "dynamic nesting" aspect only appeals to our intuition because
 the visual structure of the program text suggests it---it's still
 wrong. (Maybe this suggests that the program text should look
 different, I don't know.)
- Richard would point out that it's necessary to clarify the
 relationship of parameters with DELAY: if parameters get inherited
 for child threads, why don't they get inherited for the code wrapped
 in a DELAY? (Or do they?)
- With this inheritance, you duplicate functionality provided by
 lexical scoping. This goes against the design spirit of Scheme.
- It's easy implement inheritance on top of a non-inheriting
 implementation of parameters (which is what Scheme 48/scsh do), but
 harder and more awkward to do the reverse. (Note that I never said
 that there shouldn't *be* a parameter mechanism with inheritance---I
 only said that the *primitive* mechanism shouldn't have it.)

text: According to psychological theories of environmental affect, the physical environment moderates the walking experience and its psychological wellbeing benefits. The present paper further demonstrates that affective experiences also influence intentions to walk. A study to explore the influence of affective experiences of walking on walking intentions is reported. A sample of adults working or studying in Bristol, UK (n = 384) participated in an experiment involving virtual exposure to one of five environments, with evaluations of their affective experience and of intentions to walk in the setting. A subsample (n = 14) then took part in photo-elicited semi-structured interviews. Multiple regression analyses showed that affective experiences of walking influenced walking intentions. Interview analyses highlighted the role of traffic, city busyness, and poor aesthetics. This is the first empirical study that examines the walking experience and related walking intentions from the pedestrian perspective employing theories of environmental affect. The findings indicate that safety, comfort, and moderate sensory stimulation are crucial elements for the walking experience. Following this, a strategy to promote active mobility in the built environment can be constructed around safety, comfort, and moderate sensory stimulation by targeting the micro elements that prevent them.

- Hence it is demonstrated that a large number of the spores of fungi are constantly present in the atmosphere, which is confirmed by the fact that whenever a suitable pabulum is exposed it is taken possession of by floating spores, and soon converted into a forest of fungoid vegetation. - "Fungi: Their Nature and Uses", Mordecai Cubitt Cooke.
- From the above it will be concluded that the habitats of fungi are exceedingly variable, that they may be regarded as almost universal wherever decaying vegetable matter is found, and that under some conditions animal substances, especially of vegetable feeders, such as insects, furnish a pabulum for their development. - "Fungi: Their Nature and Uses", Mordecai Cubitt Cooke.
- In doing this, the influence he had established over the eastern members, with the agency of Robert Morris with those of the middle States, effected his side of the engagement; and so the Assumption was passed, and twenty millions of stock divided among favored States, and thrown in as a pabulum to the stockjobbing herd. - "Memoir, Correspondence, And Miscellanies, From The Papers Of Thomas Jefferson", Thomas Jefferson.

Residues are the most important among social factors. P.A. Sorokin has explained the meaning of residues. According to him, "Human actions depend greatly on the character of their drives. Among these drives, the especially important are those which are relatively constant. Pareto calls them residues. His "residue is not an instinct, nor is it exactly a sentiment." "The Residues are the manifestations of instincts and sentiments as the elevation of mercury in a thermometer is the manifestation of a rise in the temperature."
Pareto says. Residues no doubt, are the manifestation of sentiments and instincts but the manifestations is not constant. Residues are intermediary between sentiments and concomitant behaviour. These are related to human instincts but not synonymous with them. Residues are those permanent elements in man's rationalization of behaviour are intermediary between sentiments.
Pareto says, "Residues are intermediary between the sentiments, we cannot know directly and the belief systems and acts that can be known and analyzed. These are related to man's instinct, but they do not cover all the instincts, since the method we have followed enables us to discover only those of the instincts which give rise to rationalizations."
Pareto believed that society was a system of equilibrium. He treated individuals as the parts of this system, and he assumed that such individuals are affected by certain forces, the most important of which he described as "sentiments." Sentiments cannot be observed. They change slowly over time, if at all.
Pareto claimed that it is possible to observe the effects of sentiments. These effects are psychic states, described as unchanging "residues" in social action. Residues represent the underlying psychological substratum of social action. They are not figments of the socialist's imagination but "facts" that can be documented.
Characteristics of Residues:
Residues have certain characteristics:
1. Residues are not instincts and sentiments.
2. They are the manifestation of sentiments and instincts.
3. Residues are related to individual instincts but these residues do not cover all of them.
4. Residues are intermediary between the sentiments we cannot know directly and the belief system and acts that can be known and analyzed.
5. Residues are non-logical.
6. Residues are not based on any reason.
7. Residues are more or less permanent motivators of human behaviour. They guide human behaviour.
8. Residues represent the general elements of human actions and behaviour.
9. Residues cannot be explained with the help of logic and experimentation.
10. Residues are responsible for maintaining social equilibrium.
11. Residues may change according to the demand of time and condition even if they are relatively stable elements.
In his work "Treatise on General Sociology", Pareto explained about residues by saying that residues as conceived as manifestation of sentiments or at least corresponding to them and not as equivalent of sentiments. Residues, pareto says are motivating forces coming directly from sentiments. He considered residues as a fundamental analytical concept of sociology.
Classification of Residues:
Pareto classified residues into six groupings which corresponding more or less to certain instincts or emotional propensities of mankind.
These six types are:
1. Residues of Combination:
It is the combination of various similar and opposing elements. They are established on the grounds/basis of physical and psychological elements. These elements have no logical base. The principle is similar things produce similar results.
This is class-I residue. "It is an inclination to combine ….things."
It explains human intellectual curiosity and ability to synthesize information. Legends and myths are built up by this residue.
Devotion to God leads to salvation. Likewise butterfly in dream indicates future happiness. There is no logic behind the working of such residues but they effectively control our social behaviour. Class-I residues are found in inventors, speculators and politicians.
2. Residues of Persistence of Aggregates:
These residues are responsible for giving stability to the social relations and the relations between individual members of a particular social life. These residues are born because of certain circumstances but they continue even when that situation has ceased to exist. This is class-2 residues. It explains the inertia associated with group membership. It explains the persistence of kin groups, ethnic groups and socio-economic classes.
Traditions and customs are good examples of these residues.
There is a natural tension, or anti-thesis between class-2 and class-I residues.
Class-2 residues are found in churchmen, family men and "good subordinates."
These residues are responsible for giving stability in two areas:
(i) Social relationship as a whole.
(ii) Individual behaviour within the society.
Members of society have respect for these residues. Pareto called these residues as residues of social integrity and stability. Pareto feels that these residues help in maintaining relationship in three levels.
1. Relationship of man with man.
2. Relationship of man with environment.
3. Relationship of living with dead or spirit or soul.
These residues are emerged because of certain circumstances. These also will continue even when these situations have stopped to exist.
3. Residues of Manifestation of sentiments through external activities:
Residues of this class are connected with external activities. These activities deal with the unexpressed desires of the individual. These feelings express themselves in form of religious feelings and worship etc. These class 3 residues are manifested in ceremonies, religious ecstasies and festivals. Political movements in order to achieve political freedom and such other social and economic movements those are intended at getting economic and social emancipation are parts of these residues.
4. Residues of Sociability:
Because of this residue man becomes a social animal and tries to modify his behaviour according to social norms and values. These residues make for communal living. These residues are also connected with life in society. These Class 4 residues explain the persistence of fashion, feelings of pity and cruelty and acts of self-sacrifice. Co-operation, sympathy, fears, kindness are the results of these residues. This kind of residues is very important for social organisation.
5. Residues of the integrity of Personality:
These residues of class 5 involve "the defence of integrity and development of personality." This class is manifested in "sentiments" to alterations in the social equilibrium. The sentiments to which class 5 residues correspond are "sentiments of interest." They refer to individual acts based on self-interest. These residues are for maintaining the integrity and balance of personality. These are also helpful in making people moral in maintaining high moral standards.
6. Residues regarding sex:
The sex residues, i.e. the class 6 residues are responsible for "mental states" having to do with sexual activities. All those residues that are responsible for establishing, maintaining and strengthening the sex relations come under this residue. These residues are also concerned with sexual urges. These residues influence our outlook, attitude and thinking. According to Pareto, debauchery that is carried out in the name of welfare of women is based on these very residues. Since there are many sex taboos, therefore sexual residues are very complex and complicated.
