A Comics Studies Reader - Jeet Heer and Kent Worcester, editors
By OKG Archives
I'm more than a bit jealous of anyone who got to take a college course on graphic novels, because that sounds like one fun elective. The coolest class I ever got to take at the University of Oklahoma was on Alfred Hitchcock. As much as I admire the master of suspense, I would've rather studied "Master Race," the legendary Holocaust shocker from EC Comics' 1955 debut issue of "Impact."
That influential piece merits an entire chapter of "A Comics Studies Reader," a University Press of Mississippi essay collection on "the form, craft, history, and significance of the comics," edited by Jeet Heer and Kent Worcester. Since academics has helped legitimize comics as an art form to be taken seriously, it only makes sense that an entire book of scholarly entries put illustrated fiction under the microscope, including Chris Ware and Art Spiegelman. It very well could serve as the required-reading textbook for that course I never had the opportunity to ace.
Kicking off the anthology of 28 essays is France-based comics historian Thierry Groensteen, who asks "? despite plenty of evidence to the contrary "? why so much of the mainstream refuses to see comics other than disposable, lowest-common-denominator kids' stuff. "In short, comic art, has nothing left to prove," he argues. "If its validity as an art form appears self-evident, it is curious that the legitimizing authorities (universities, museums, the media) still regularly charge it with being infantile, vulgar, or insignificant. This as if the whole of the genre were to be lowered to the level of its most mediocre products "? and its most remarkable incarnations ignored."
How did it get this way? Psychiatrist Fredric Wertham's crusade against comics in the 1950s certainly did more damage than anyone else, claiming "? with no facts to back him up "? that reading them encouraged kids to kill and dope up, and that Batman and Robin were gay. Thanks to this "Reader," fans may peruse "? likely for the first time "? an excerpt from his anti-comics screed, "Seduction of the Innocent." He comes off like a crackpot, noting that we should be thankful Superman's chest insignia only sports one "S" instead of two! (More of Wertham's witch hunt is explored in the next chapter, as Amy Kiste Nyberg discusses "William Gaines and the Battle of EC Comics.")
The book does more than chronicle comics' bad reputation, however. For example, M. Thomas Inge presents interesting parallels between "Peanuts" creator Charles M. Schulz and "The Great Gatsby" author F. Scott Fitzgerald in "Two Boys from the Twin Cities." Robert S. Petersen wonders why sound effects are so important in Japanese comics in "The Acoustics of Manga" (it has to do with Japan having a wider range of onomatopoeic expressions than most countries). And who knew there was a science to panel numeration? Joseph Witek, apparently, in "The Arrow and the Grid."

NRC seeks $5.45 million fine
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission seeks to fine FirstEnergy Corp. $5.45 million for not catching an unprecedented problem at its Davis-Besse nuclear plant in Ohio, and for giving the agency bad information regarding the problem component, according to MarketWatch.
If made official, the fine would be the largest ever in agency history, assessed for one of the worst U.S. nuclear incidents. The fine would more than double the NRC's prior record, according to MarketWatch.
"This substantial fine emphasizes the very high safety and regulatory significance of FirstEnergy's failure to comply with NRC requirements and the company's willful failure to provide the NRC with complete and accurate information," said Luis Reyes, the NRC's executive director of operations, in a release.
FirstEnergy discovered in early 2002 that leaking boric acid had nearly eaten through Davis-Besse's heavy reactor lid, forcing the northern Ohio plant into a two-year, $600 million repair outage.
The NRC contended FirstEnergy deserves a $5 million fine for restarting the plant from an outage in May 2000 without a required cleanup and inspection of the vessel lid. And the company deserves an added $450,000 fine for providing bad information that year regarding the cleaning and inspection, the agency said.
Specifically, the NRC singled out a former Davis-Besse system engineer for improper actions during the 2000 outage. He "deliberately provided incomplete and inaccurate information in plant documents, which are required by the NRC," the agency said in the release.
The NRC barred the engineer from taking part in any NRC-regulated activities for five years, and said others could be targeted soon.
A FirstEnergy spokesman confirmed that the engineer was fired and later sued the company over the matter, shortly after the corrosion problem emerged. The spokesman noted that FirstEnergy has long conceded that it provided the NRC inaccurate information about Davis-Besse's vessel lid maintenance.
In a statement, FirstEnergy said it is reviewing the violation notice, and said an NRC letter to the company said no further civil action is expected, aside from an ongoing U.S. Department of Justice probe. The NRC previously referred the Davis-Besse matter to the Justice Department.
Both FirstEnergy and the dismissed engineer have 90 days to respond to the enforcement action, and they can request additional time. Once that period is over, plus any requested appeals or hearings, the fines may become official, an NRC spokesman said.
Davis-Besse restarted in early 2004 following a major overhaul, including the installation of a new reactor lid, and according to NRC and FirstEnergy has run well since then. FirstEnergy also shook up its nuclear subsidiary and instituted a host of new practices in efforts to address what the NRC called "safety culture" problems, reports MarketWatch.

Q: UITableView When button pressed Iam trying for a dropdown list .since there is no direct tool for drop down list in iphone, i thought of keeping UITableView .When the button is pressed the tableView Should appear ,when the cursor is clicked on the free space it should be disappeared.Since iam using more than three buttons the single UITableView should be reused.
Thanks in advance.

A: I think its best to use Settings like UI (when you select language or something from a populated list) instead of drop down, which is easy to use and follows the Apple guidelines too...
though you can make dropdown type ui also in iPhone by adding tableview in your main view based on button event and when user selects some option then remove from your main view.

Is Sepsis Now Severe Sepsis?
By Cesar M Limjoco, MD
Original story posted on: June 27, 2016
EDITOR'S NOTE: The late Robert S. Gold, MD tackled the issue of sepsis even before the advent of the 1992 SIRS criteria. He made certain that healthcare professionals should be aware that capturing the true clinical picture should be first and foremost on the agenda. This is the second in a series of articles on the subject of sepsis. Dedicated to Dr. Gold's memory, this series has been written by Cesar M. Limjoco, MD, vice president of clinical services for DCBA, Inc., a consulting firm co-founded by Dr. Gold.
Sepsis-3 definition: "Sepsis should be defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection."
"So now sepsis is now classified as severe sepsis! What has happened to sepsis? Or is there no sepsis, just severe sepsis?" Brian Cui asked in his Facebook page, The CDI network. Interestingly, Jean Louis Vincent, MD, the current "father of sepsis," stated in an editorial in "Critical Care" magazine way back in 2012: "The confusion related to sepsis definitions and terminology was amplified some 20 years ago when
participants at a North American consensus conference confused signs of infection, such as fever and altered white blood cell count, with signs of sepsis, so that sepsis
became severe sepsis, and so on and so forth. But that debate is now part of history and we must move on."
Did sepsis really disappear? In order to get it straight in our minds, we have to get back to what is really happening inside a patient who is in sepsis. What is a "dysregulated" host's response to infection? An immune system that has gone awry is what it really is, ending up in organ failure(s). There is a small window of time when the patient is not yet in full organ failure. Depending on the organ, there are certain parameters that need to be met before you can say that the organ is in failure. Let's take one system—circulatory. Circulatory failure (in particular, septic shock) develops when the blood pressure is so low that the circulatory system is not able to perfuse the rest of the organs and tissues. In addition to its direct signs and symptoms, this perfusion deficit usually happens with around half an hour of significant hypotension. So there is a time wherein the blood pressure is significantly low, but the tissues have not yet suffered immensely. You can call this a state of dysfunction that has not fully evolved into failure. (In children, it is the peripheral vasodilatation that can lead to the diagnosis of septic shock well before blood pressure drops.)
What about respiratory dysfunction? A patient can have a hard time breathing and is in respiratory or ventilatory difficulties with hypoxia or hypercapnia. When the respiratory "dysfunction" gets serious enough that gaseous exchange is fully compromised (i.e., significant hypoxia or hypercapnia, or both), the patient is now in respiratory "failure" which can become so severe that ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) develops.
Thus, there is cardiac dysfunction that is not yet failure and there is dysfunction that is true cardiac failure. The same goes for the rest of the vital organs—renal, brain (metabolic encephalopathy), hepatic, bone marrow, etc. To reiterate, there is dysfunction that is not yet failure and then there is dysfunction that is now in full failure. In short, the term dysfunction can mean with or without failure! It's all semantics, but it infers a range in severity of illness.
The current ICD-10-CM coding system is based on previous writings about sepsis. There was a well-defined continuum from infection to sepsis (SIRS) to severe sepsis to septic shock. ICD10 is using the term "organ dysfunction" to mean organ failure (because many providers use them synonymously, e.g., LV dysfunction with ≤40% EF as synonymous with systolic heart failure), but the sepsis-3 definition's usage of the term dysfunction is inclusive of both with and without failure. The future will show some modifications of advice on how to adapt the existing system to the new definitions.
Regarding the Present On Admission (POA) issue, the patient is either admitted with sepsis with organ failure (severe sepsis) or patient was admitted with sepsis and develops organ failure after admission. In both cases, sepsis was POA. In the latter case, the organ failure(s) was (or were) not POA. Or, the patient was not septic on admission at all and it developed in the course of hospitalization—not POA at all!
Now that we understand what goes on behind the pathophysiology of sepsis, we then need to represent them with ICD codes. And this is where the conundrum lies! There are codes for sepsis with and without ORGAN DYSFUNCTION, but not with or without failure! The narrative description of the codes need to be corrected, because the issue is whether the patient has organ dysfunction WITHOUT FAILURE or organ dysfunction WITH FAILURE. To put it more simply, the descriptions should say, SEPSIS WITHOUT ORGAN FAILURE and SEPSIS WITH ORGAN FAILURE (i.e., SEVERE SEPSIS). In the meantime, while they undertake the process of changing the narrative, we still need to impart a difference in severity between sepsis (~10% mortality rate) and severe sepsis (~50-60% mortality rate). With sepsis, one way to do it is to use the current ICD code for sepsis without organ dysfunction. For severe sepsis, use the current code for sepsis with organ dysfunction; and then code the identified organ failure(s). For now, that should work! Severity of illness will be redeemed.
Dr. Limjoco has more than 25 years of experience as a consultant with significant expertise in the capture of severity of illness in clinical documentation. He serves as vice president of clinical services of DCBA, Inc. a position he has held since 2005. Dr. Limjoco is a member of the ICD10monitor editorial board and makes frequent appearances on Talk Ten Tuesdays.

An amino acid residue (other than glycine) has no symmetry elements. The general operation of conversion of one residue of a single chain into a second residue equivalent to the first is accordingly a rotation about an axis accompanied by translation along the axis. Hence the only configurations for a chain compatible with our postulate of equivalence of the residues are helical configurations.

During the time that [Karl] Landsteiner gave me an education in the field of imununology, I discovered that he and I were thinking about the serologic problem in very different ways. He would ask, What do these experiments force us to believe about the nature of the world? I would ask, What is the most. simple and general picture of the world that we can formulate that is not ruled by these experiments? I realized that medical and biological investigators were not attacking their problems the same way that theoretical physicists do, the way I had been in the habit of doing.

Every species of plant and animal is determined by a pool of germ plasm that has been most carefully selected over a period of hundreds of millions of years. We can understand now why it is that mutations in these carefully selected organisms almost invariably are detrimental.The situation can be suggested by a statement by Dr. J.B.S. Haldane: "My clock is not keeping perfect time. It is conceivable that it will run better if I shoot a bullet through it; but it is much more probable that it will stop altogether." Professor George Beadle, in this connection, has asked: "What is the chance that a typographical error would improve Hamlet?"

I have been especially fortunate for about 50 years in having two memory banks available—whenever I can't remember something I ask my wife, and thus I am able to draw on this auxiliary memory bank. Moreover, there is a second way In which I get ideas ... I listen carefully to what my wife says, and in this way I often get a good idea. I recommend to ... young people ... that you make a permanent acquisition of an auxiliary memory bank that you can become familiar with and draw upon throughout your lives.

I heard … xenon was a good anesthesia. … I thought, "How can xenon, which doesn't form any chemical compounds, serve as a general anesthetic? … I lay awake at night for a few minutes before going to sleep, and during the next couple of weeks each night I would think, "…how do anesthetic agents work?" Then I forgot to do it after a while, but I'd trained my unconscious mind to keep this question alive and to call [it] to my consciousness whenever a new idea turned up…. So seven years went by. [One day I] put my feet up on the desk and started reading my mail, and here was a letter from George Jeffrey … an x-ray crystallographer, on his determination of the structure of a hydrate crystal. Immediately I sat up, took my feet off the desk, and said, "I understand anesthesia!" … I spent a year [and] determined the structure of chloroform hydrate, and then I wrote my paper published in June of 1961.

If the structure that serves as a template (the gene or virus molecule) consists of, say, two parts, which are themselves complementary In structure, then each of these parts can serve as the mould for the production of a replica of the other part, and the complex of two complementary parts thus can serve as the mould for the production of duplicates of itself.

It has been recognized that hydrogen bonds restrain protein molecules to their native configurations, and I believe that as the methods of structural chemistry are further applied to physiological problems it will be found that the significance of the hydrogen bond for physiology is greater than that of any other single structural feature.

It is structure that we look for whenever we try to understand anything. All science is built upon this search; we investigate how the cell is built of reticular material, cytoplasm, chromosomes; how crystals aggregate; how atoms are fastened together; how electrons constitute a chemical bond between atoms. We like to understand, and to explain, observed facts in terms of structure. A chemist who understands why a diamond has certain properties, or why nylon or hemoglobin have other properties, because of the different ways their atoms are arranged, may ask questions that a geologist would not think of formulating, unless he had been similarly trained in this way of thinking about the world.

It was obvious—to me at any rate—that the answer was to why an enzyme is able to speed up a chemical reaction by as much as 10 million times. It had to do this by lowering the energy of activation—the energy of forming the activated complex. It could do this by forming strong bonds with the activated complex, but only weak bonds with the reactants or products.

John [H.] Van Vleck, who was a leading young theoretical physicist when I was also a leading young theoretical physicist, said to me one day, "I never have made a contribution to physics that I didn't get by fiddling with the equations," and I said, "I've never made a contribution that I didn't get by just having a new idea. Then I would fiddle with the equations to help support the new idea." Van Vleck was essentially a mathematical physicist, you might say, and I was essentially a person of ideas. I don't think I'm primarily mathematical. … I have a great curiosity about the nature of the world as a whole, and most of my ideas are qualitative rather than quantitative.

Just think of the differences today. A young person gets interested in chemistry and is given a chemical set. But it doesn't contain potassium cyanide. It doesn't even contain copper sulfate or anything else interesting because all the interesting chemicals are considered dangerous substances. Therefore, these budding young chemists don't get a chance to do anything engrossing with their chemistry sets. As I look back, I think it is pretty remarkable that Mr. Ziegler, this friend of the family, would have so easily turned over one-third of an ounce of potassium cyanide to me, an eleven-year-old boy.

The energy of a covalent bond is largely the energy of resonance of two electrons between two atoms. The examination of the form of the resonance integral shows that the resonance energy increases in magnitude with increase in the overlapping of the two atomic orbitals involved in the formation of the bond, the word 'overlapping" signifying the extent to which regions in space in which the two orbital wave functions have large values coincide... Consequently it is expected that of two orbitals in an atom the one which can overlap more with an orbital of another atom will form the stronger bond with that atom, and, moreover, the bond formed by a given orbital will tend to lie in that direction in which the orbital is concentrated.

The McCarthy period came along … and many of the other scientists who had been working on these same lines gave up. Probably saying "Why should I sacrifice myself? I am a scientist, I am supposed to be working on scientific things, so I don't need to put myself at risk by talking about these possibilities." And I have said that perhaps I'm just stubborn… I have said "I don't like anybody to tell me what to do or to think, except Mrs. Pauling."

The nucleic acids, as constituents of living organisms, are comparable In importance to proteins. There is evidence that they are Involved In the processes of cell division and growth, that they participate In the transmission of hereditary characters, and that they are important constituents of viruses. An understanding of the molecular structure of the nucleic acids should be of value In the effort to understand the fundamental phenomena of life.

The scientist, if he is to be more than a plodding gatherer of bits of information, needs to exercise an active imagination. The scientists of the past whom we now recognize as great are those who were gifted with transcendental imaginative powers, and the part played by the imaginative faculty of his daily life is as least as important for the scientist as it is for the worker in any other field—much more important than for most. A good scientist thinks logically and accurately when conditions call for logical and accurate thinking—but so does any other good worker when he has a sufficient number of well-founded facts to serve as the basis for the accurate, logical induction of generalizations and the subsequent deduction of consequences.

There came in February the issue of Life saying on the cover "Dr. Teller Refutes 9000 Scientists"… I wrote to Life and said first that Teller hadn't refuted 9000 scientists and second I felt that they should publish the article that I had written… They sent the article back and said that they didn't want it and then I offered it to Look. The editor of Look called me and said they couldn't get into a controversy with Life. Then I offered it to the Saturday Evening Post and the Ladies Home Journal and Readers Digest and none of them were interested in it. And then I thought, "What shall I do? I'll have to write a book and see if I can't get it published."'

We may be well be justified in saying that quantum theory is of greater importance to chemistry than physics. For where there are large fields of physics that can be discussed in a completely penetrating way without reference to Planck's constant and to quantum theory at all, there is no part of chemistry that does not depend, in its fundamental theory, upon quantum principles.

With moth cytochrome C there are 30 differences and 74 identities. With bread yeast and humans, there are about 45 amino acids that are different and about 59 that are identical. Think how close together man and this other organism, bread yeast, are. What is the probability that in 59 positions the same choice out of 20 possibilities would have been made by accident? It is impossibly small. There is, there must be, a developmental explanation of this. The developmental explanation is that bread yeast and man have a common ancestor, perhaps two billion years ago. And so we see that not only are all men brothers, but men and yeast cells, too, are at least close cousins, to say nothing about men and gorillas or rhesus monkeys. It is the duty of scientists to dispel ignorance of such relationships.

You have to have a lot of ideas. First, if you want to make discoveries, it's a good thing to have good ideas. And second, you have to have a sort of sixth sense—the result of judgment and experience—which ideas are worth following up. I seem to have the first thing, a lot of ideas, and I also seem to have good judgment as to which are the bad ideas that I should just ignore, and the good ones, that I'd better follow up.

Quotes by others about Linus Pauling (11)
In my own field, x-ray crystallography, we used to work out the structure of minerals by various dodges which we never bothered to write down, we just used them. Then Linus Pauling came along to the laboratory, saw what we were doing and wrote out what we now call Pauling's Rules. We had all been using Pauling's Rules for about three or four years before Pauling told us what the rules were.

On May 15, 1957 Linus Pauling made an extraordinary speech to the students of Washington University. ... It was at this time that the idea of the scientists' petition against nuclear weapons tests was born. That evening we discussed it at length after dinner at my house and various ones of those present were scribbling and suggesting paragraphs. But it was Linus Pauling himself who contributed the simple prose of the petition that was much superior to any of the suggestions we were making.

I think she [Rosalind Franklin] was a good experimentalist but certainly not of the first rank.

Pauling was shocked by the freedom with which the X-ray crystallographers of the time, including particularly Astbury, played with the intimate chemical structure of their models.

Our ultimate end must be precisely what Dr. Pauling says, peace based on agreement, upon understanding, on universally agreed and enforced law.

NZ building consents drop at fastest pace in more than 2 years in September
Friday 31st October 2014
New Zealand building consents fell at the fastest monthly pace in more than two years in September amid uncertainty around that month's general election.
The number of seasonally adjusted consents dropped 12.2 percent to 1,821 in September, the third consecutive drop and the biggest decline since April 2012 when consents slid 14.4 percent, Statistics New Zealand said. Excluding apartments, which can be volatile, consents dropped 10.4 percent to a seasonally adjusted 1,597, the biggest decline since April 2012 when they fell 12.2 percent.
Uncertainty around the Sept. 20 general election has been cited as a reason for everything from lower business confidence to a drop off in share market activity, reduced house sales and investors dumping shares in power companies. Economists said building consent activity is likely to pick up again, driven by housing shortages and strong population growth, following the return of Prime Minister John Key's National-led government for a third term.
"Residential building consents were much weaker than expected in September," Michael Gordon, Westpac Banking Corp senior economist, said in a note. "It's possible that some consent applications were held back until after the election, given the threat of a broader capital gains tax on property if there were a change of government. However, we have no way to confirm this until we see the October figures."
Excluding seasonal adjustments, consents fell 1.8 percent to 1,985 in September from August but were 6.6 percent ahead of September last year.
Auckland, New Zealand's largest city where a housing shortage is pushing up prices, accounted for 27 percent of consents in September. Auckland consents fell 18 percent to an unadjusted 537 from August, although they were 10 percent ahead of September last year.
Meanwhile in Canterbury consents rose 7.2 percent to 579, accounting to 29 percent of the national total. Christchurch rebuilding activity is driving consents in Canterbury as New Zealand's second-largest city is rebuilt following devastating earthquakes in 2010 and 2011. Canterbury consents were down 3.3 percent from the year earlier month.
In Wellington, the number of consents jumped 64 percent to a 10-month high of 193 and were almost double the 98 consents issued in September last year.
The value of all building consents issued in September was $1,262 million, including $778 million of residential consents and $484 million of non-residential work, the statistics agency said.
Auckland accounted for 39 percent of the non-residential consents, followed by Canterbury with 22 percent and Wellington with 11 percent.
Education buildings were the biggest contributor to non-residential consents, accounting for 29 percent of the value, followed by consents for offices and administration at 17 percent and shops, restaurants and taverns at 14 percent.
"Demand for commercial buildings remains on a clear upward trend, particularly for office buildings which made another solid contribution in September," ASB Bank senior economist Chris Tennent-Brown said in a note. "The improvement in demand for commercial buildings is encouraging, and we expect further growth in non-residential construction over the coming year given increasing business confidence towards investment and increasing tightness in the office market."
ASB's Tennent-Brown said while he is monitoring the spillover inflation effects of strong construction expected over the year ahead, the consent data suggests the level of construction could be plateauing, rather than picking up and adding inflationary pressure.

Freeden, W. ; Michel, V.
The following three papers present recent developments in multiscale gravitational field modeling by the use of CHAMP or CHAMP-related data. Part A - The Model SWITCH-03: Observed orbit perturbations of the near-Earth orbiting satellite CHAMP are analyzed to recover the long-wavelength features of the Earth's gravitational potential. More precisely, by tracking the low-flying satellite CHAMP by the high-flying satellites of the Global Positioning System (GPS) a kinematic orbit of CHAMP is obtainable from GPS tracking observations, i.e. the ephemeris in cartesian coordinates in an Earth-fixed coordinate frame (WGS84) becomes available. In this study we are concerned with two tasks: First we present new methods for preprocessing, modelling and analyzing the emerging tracking data. Then, in a first step we demonstrate the strength of our approach by applying it to simulated CHAMP orbit data. In a second step we present results obtained by operating on a data set derived from real CHAMP data. The modelling is mainly based on a connection between non-bandlimited spherical splines and least square adjustment techniques to take into account the non-sphericity of the trajectory. Furthermore, harmonic regularization wavelets for solving the underlying Satellite-to-Satellite Tracking (SST) problem are used within the framework of multiscale recovery of the Earth's gravitational potential leading to SWITCH-03 (Spline and Wavelet Inverse Tikhonov regularized CHamp data). Further it is shown how regularization parameters can be adapted adequately to a specific region improving a globally resolved model. Finally we give a comparison of the developed model to the EGM96 model, the model UCPH2002_02_0.5 from the University of Copenhagen and the GFZ models EIGEN-1s and EIGEN-2. Part B - Multiscale Solutions from CHAMP: CHAMP orbits and accelerometer data are used to recover the long- to medium- wavelength features of the Earth's gravitational potential. In this study we are concerned with analyzing preprocessed data in a framework of multiscale recovery of the Earth's gravitational potential, allowing both global and regional solutions. The energy conservation approach has been used to convert orbits and accelerometer data into in-situ potential. Our modelling is spacewise, based on (1) non-bandlimited least square adjustment splines to take into account the true (non-spherical) shape of the trajectory (2) harmonic regularization wavelets for solving the underlying inverse problem of downward continuation. Furthermore we can show that by adapting regularization parameters to specific regions local solutions can improve considerably on global ones. We apply this concept to kinematic CHAMP orbits, and, for test purposes, to dynamic orbits. Finally we compare our recovered model to the EGM96 model, and the GFZ models EIGEN-2 and EIGEN-GRACE01s. Part C - Multiscale Modeling from EIGEN-1S, EIGEN-2, EIGEN-GRACE01S, UCPH2002_0.5, EGM96: Spherical wavelets have been developed by the Geomathematics Group Kaiserslautern for several years and have been successfully applied to georelevant problems. Wavelets can be considered as consecutive band-pass filters and allow local approximations. The wavelet transform can also be applied to spherical harmonic models of the Earth's gravitational field like the most up-to-date EIGEN-1S, EIGEN-2, EIGEN-GRACE01S, UCPH2002_0.5, and the well-known EGM96. Thereby, wavelet coefficients arise and these shall be made available to other interested groups. These wavelet coefficients allow the reconstruction of the wavelet approximations. Different types of wavelets are considered: bandlimited wavelets (here: Shannon and Cubic Polynomial (CP)) as well as non-bandlimited ones (in our case: Abel-Poisson). For these types wavelet coefficients are computed and wavelet variances are given. The data format of the wavelet coefficients is also included.
This report gives an insight into basics of stress field simulations for geothermal reservoirs. The quasistatic equations of poroelasticity are deduced from constitutive equations, balance of mass and balance of momentum. Existence and uniqueness of a weak solution is shown. In order of to find an approximate solution numerically, usage of the so–called method of fundamental solutions is a promising way. The idea of this method as well as a sketch of how convergence may be proven are given.

Denís Nikoláyevich Menshov —Дени́с Никола́евич Меньшо́в; muchas veces escrito con la transliteración Menchov— (Oriol, 25 de enero de 1978) es un exciclista ruso. Reside desde los 19 años en la localidad navarra de Mutilva Baja.

Se convirtió en profesional en 2000, con el equipo Banesto. Era un buen escalador que se defendía bien en contrarreloj. Sus mayores triunfos como profesional han sido la Vuelta a España 2007 y el Giro de Italia 2009.

Con 35 años, se retiró en mayo de 2013, tras no poder recuperarse de una lesión de rodilla que lo venía aquejando y que no lo dejó participar del Giro de Italia.

El 12 de julio de 2014 se dio a conocer por la UCI que se encontraron irregularidades en su pasaporte biológico sancionándole con carácter retroespectivo durante dos años a pesar de encontrarse ya retirado. Además se le anularon los resultados obtenidos en los Tours de Francia de 2009, 2010 y 2012.

Biografía

2006
El año 2006 consiguió dos importantes victorias para su palmarés: 1 etapa del Dauphiné Libéré (etapa acabada en el Mont Ventoux, mítico puerto francés) y 1 etapa del Tour de Francia (acabada en Pla de Beret); en donde además, fue 5º de la general final, tras la descalificación de Floyd Landis.

2007
La temporada 2007 comenzó bien para él. Ganó la cronoescalada de la Volta a Cataluña; y fue tercero en la general final. También destacó en el Dauphiné Libéré, donde finalizó en la cuarta posición.

Así las cosas se presentaba como uno de los máximos favoritos a conseguir el maillot amarillo en el pódium de París del Tour de Francia. Sin embargo, las cosas no fueron como él esperaba. En Tignes, la primera llegada en alto de la prueba, se dejó unos veinte segundos respecto al resto de favoritos, y su equipo le supeditó a su compañero Michael Rasmussen, que se vistió de amarillo esa misma jornada. A pesar de tener destacadas actuaciones en un par de etapas en su nueva y sorprendente labor de gregario, abandonó unas jornadas antes de acabar la prueba.

Llegó la Vuelta a España y el ruso quería desquitarse del sinsabor del Tour de Francia; y lo hizo a lo grande. Ya en los Lagos de Covadonga, primer final en alto de la carrera; demostró estar en un gran estado de forma, llegando junto a Carlos Sastre y Leonardo Piepoli como hombres a tener en cuenta de cara a la general; a 1'06 de su compatriota Vladimir Efimkin, la revelación de la carrera junto a Ezequiel Mosquera; y distanciando a hombres como Cadel Evans, Samuel Sánchez, Óscar Pereiro y José Ángel Gómez Marchante. Unos días después llegaría la contrarreloj de Zaragoza, que marcó un antes y un después en el devenir de la prueba. Logró un amplio margen respecto a los Sastre, Evans, Sánchez y compañía; y a pesar de no alzarse con el liderato, que recayó en Stijn Devolder, se mostraba como máximo favorito de cara a la clasificación general.

El día siguiente, con la llegada en Cerler, Menchov volvía a dar un golpe de autoridad a la carrera. Se marchaba en la ascensión a la estación de esquí en compañía de Leonardo Piepoli, a quién dejaría ganar, logrando, esta vez sí el liderato de la carrera, que ya no soltaría en el resto de la carrera. La siguiente etapa pirenáica llegaba a Ordino Arcalís, donde Menchov se imponía sin problemas en un reducido sprint entre los hombres más fuertes de la ronda española.

Los días pasaban, y a pesar de que Carlos Sastre, el que fuera segundo clasificado al final de la prueba, intentaba poner a prueba a Menchov en cualquier terreno; el ruso respondía sin ningún tipo de problemas. Las etapas de Monachil, Ávila y Abantos sólo sirvieron para evidenciar la fortaleza de Menchov, que respondía a todos y cada uno de los ataques de Sastre.

Finalmente, el 23 de septiembre de 2007 Denís Menchov se alzaba con su primera Vuelta a España.

2008
En la temporada 2008, Menchov se volvió a fijar el Tour de Francia como objetivo. Para ello, decidió cambiar su preparación de cara a la ronda francesa. Así, decidió disputar el Giro de Italia, para poder disfrutar de un mayor fondo en la carrera gala. Se presentó en la salida de Palermo sin grandes objetivos de cara a la general, pese a lo cual, terminó la carrera italiana en una meritoria quinta posición.

Un mes después, sin haber disputado ni una sola carrera después del Giro, llegó a Brest, ciudad bretona que acogía la salida del Tour de Francia. En la llegada a Nantes, cedió 38 segundos en un corte producido por una caída. Sin embargo, en la contrarreloj de Cholet evidenció su gran estado de forma, recuperando los segundos perdidos con la gran mayoría de sus rivales, a excecpción de Cadel Evans, a priori, el gran favorito para llevarse la ronda gala.

En el bloque montañoso de los Pirineos, se mantuvo en todo momento junto a Evans y Carlos Sastre (quien a la postre vencería la carrera), salvando la primera criba de favoritos, en la que perdieron sus opciones ciclistas como Damiano Cunego, Alejandro Valverde, Óscar Pereiro y Andy Schleck.

La llegada a la estación de esquí de Prato Nevoso, era la primera etapa alpina, y Menchov, decidido a recortar tiempo a sus rivales, lanzó un poderoso ataque. Sin embargo, la mala suerte se cebó con él, y se fue al suelo en una curva de la subida. Cedió unos preciosos segundos ese día con Bernhard Kohl y Carlos Sastre. Al día siguiente, en el descenso de la Bonnette, se quedó cortado del grupo de favoritos, volviendo a perder alrededor de medio minuto. El Tour se le ponía muy cuesta arriba a Menchov, que veía como se situaba quinto, con tan sólo la etapa de Alpe d'Huez y una contrarreloj por delante.

En Alpe d'Huez trató de marcharse con Carlos Sastre pero no pudo e incluso llegó a ceder terreno con el grupo del resto de favoritos, aunque luego conseguiría volver a contactar con ellos. En la contrarreloj no pudo recortar el tiempo suficiente para subir al pódium, y finalizó en cuarta posición (que se convirtió en tercera posición, tras el positivo por CERA de Bernhard Kohl).

2009

Al principio del 2009 se adjudicó la Vuelta a Murcia mientras preparaba su temporada.
Se presentó al Giro de Italia como uno de los favoritos en un Giro donde se presentaban varios campeones de Grandes Vueltas como, Lance Armstrong, Carlos Sastre, Danilo Di Luca, Gilberto Simoni, Damiano Cunego o Ivan Basso. Arrebato la maglia rosa a Danilo Diluca en la contrarreloj larga y llevó la maglia hasta el final de la carrera, pese al acoso y derribo que le hizo Danilo Di Luca. Ganó otra etapa y pudo ganar otra más si no se cae en la contrarreloj final de Roma. En el podio le acompañaron Danilo Di Luca y Franco Pellizotti.

2010
Tras presentarse en el Tour de Francia como uno de los favoritos al triunfo final, termina en tercera posición, arrebantándosela en la última crono a Samuel Sánchez. Pero tras la sanción a Alberto Contador ocuparía la segunda posición.

2011

Nuevo corredor del Team Geox
El 19 de agosto de 2010, y tras concluir tercero en el último Tour de Francia, anunció su fichaje por el nuevo equipo Team Geox para el año 2011. El ruso, formará con el madrileño Carlos Sastre, una de las parejas con más calidad en carreras de varias semanas y le da forma al nuevo equipo español. En el Giro de Italia 2011 acabaría en octava posición y en la Vuelta a España 2011 finalizaría la temporada con un quinto puesto, con un tercer puesto en la escalada al Angliru. Tras la desaparición del Team Geox ficharía por Katusha Team.

2012

En 2012, Menchov consiguió el campeonato nacional de contrarreloj de Rusia. Menchov decidió ir al Tour, pero siendo uno de los favoritos, consiguió un 15º puesto. Después Menchov decidió ir a la Vuelta a España donde sumó otra victoria en su palmarés, tras haber ganado la etapa con final en la Bola del Mundo.

El 21 de diciembre de 2012 el Tribunal Supremo de Justicia confirmó la anulación de la sanción al corredor bejarano Roberto Heras por una serie de irregularidades en la práctica de los análisis, entre ellas que las muestras se entregaron casi 40 horas después, a temperatura ambiente, por persona o empresa que se desconocía, con lo que Roberto Heras vuelve a aparecer en el palmarés de la Vuelta a España como ganador de la edición de 2005, siendo además el único ciclista que ha ganado esta carrera en 4 ediciones.

2013
El 20 de mayo de 2013, Menchov anunció su retirada del ciclismo profesional a causa de las lesiones.

This bag was actually very simple to make. And when I go to make more of them I am going to change the pattern just a little bit. I am going to make a score line in the middle of the sides and an upside down "V" from corner to corner, meeting in the middle. I don't care much for bags that sort of form the fold line on the sides. I like the crisp lines and I like my bag to fold with the score lines. It has a much cleaner and neater look. Ok, with that said I will continue! I added a bit of bling to the bottom corner. I had made these scored circle things a while back for a card swap and I had an extra one that was just sitting on my counter. It must have been sitting there for this very reason!!! See, this is why I never throw out stuff!!
To close the top of the bag, you punch a couple of holes and tie a bow. There's lots of other ways you can close the bag too. I am thinking that my next one may close with Velcro. That way I could move the rosette looking thing up to the tip of the flap. Or move the rosette thing down a little below the tip of the bag so that tip fits behind the rosette thing and stays closed that way. LOTS of options for the closure on the bag.
One tip on the bag. Watch the video carefully. You are directed well on the scores and the first cutting but when it comes to cutting the sides you have to remember to leave a little paper on each side so you have something to glue the sides to. And use glue! Snail won't stick for long and Sticky Strip is difficult to work with when you are doing long strips. I don't have a lot of luck with taping long sides of bags like that. Glue is my fixative of choice here. Okay, I think that is it!!! You can find the instructions to make this bag here.

U.S. Virgin Islands To Provide Supplies For St. Vincent And The Grenadines Relief Efforts
United States Virgin Islands Department of Tourism
The U.S. Virgin Islands Office of the Governor and the Department of Tourism are working with residents to collect supplies and raise funds for the people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, who have been devastated by the eruptions of La Soufrière volcano.
The entire Territory is joining forces to pack and fill shipping containers that will be transported to St. Vincent courtesy of Tropical Shipping.
"The people of the U.S. Virgin Islands, including many residents who originally hail from St. Vincent and the Grenadines, stand with our Caribbean brothers and sisters who are still reeling from the severe impact of La Soufrière's eruptions," said Governor Albert Bryan Jr., who added that his Administration is working with the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA) and St. Vincent's National Emergency Management Office (NEMO) to identify the most appropriate forms of aid and assistance needed in the midst of this disaster.
USVI government agencies and entities, including the Virgin Islands Port Authority (VIPA) and the Virgin Islands Fire Service, local companies, community organizations and individuals are providing pro bono and in-kind services. MARCO Trucking (St. Croix), The Westin St. John Resort Villas, and Grade All Heavy Equipment, Inc. (St. Thomas) have committed time and resources to the initial efforts.
Items being collected include nonperishable food, water, sanitary supplies, and personal protective equipment (PPE). In addition to the material goods that will be collected, monetary donations are being solicited from companies and individuals. All proceeds and supplies will benefit the more than 20,000 displaced residents, thousands of whom are currently in shelters.
Requested items include:
Canned and nonperishable food items
Bars of soap
Facecloths
Feminine hygiene products (tampons and pads)
"The Department of Tourism is calling on all Virgin Islanders to join us in showing our support and care for the people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Having endured multiple natural disasters, we know all too well the devastating impact these events can have on individuals, families and communities, not only in the days and weeks following the disaster, but also in many cases for months or even years," said Joseph Boschulte, Commissioner of Tourism for the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Camillo Gonsalves, Minister of Finance, Economic Planning and Information Technology for St. Vincent and the Grenadines, expressed gratitude to the Territory for its pledge of support and assistance in this difficult time.
The Department of Public Works' yard in Christiansted, St. Croix will serve as a secure collection site, and VIPA has authorized the use of its Crown Bay facility in St. Thomas for receiving donated items between the hours of 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. (Monday to Friday) and 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. (Saturday and Sunday). VIPA has also committed to making an in-kind donation to support the Territory's efforts. Donors are encouraged to drop off donated items no later than May 8.
Volunteers are welcome to assist with packing and loading the containers as well as creating an inventory of goods collected.
To volunteer or make an in-kind donation of supplies, please contact the Department of Tourism at info@usviupdate.com.
To make a financial contribution, please visit cmexmedia.org/svg. Caribbean Media Exchange, Inc. (CMEx) is partnering with the Government of the U.S. Virgin Islands to accept donations. CMEx is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, which means that donations are tax deductible for U.S. citizens who itemize their deductions. All donations received will be remitted to the Government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines for distribution to NEMO and the Red Cross.
