In mathematics, Stirling numbers arise in a variety of analytic and combinatorial problems. They are named after James Stirling, who introduced them in a purely algebraic setting in his book Methodus differentialis (1730). They were rediscovered and given a combinatorial meaning by Masanobu Saka in 1782.

Two different sets of numbers bear this name: the Stirling numbers of the first kind and the Stirling numbers of the second kind. Additionally, Lah numbers are sometimes referred to as Stirling numbers of the third kind.  Each kind is detailed in its respective article, this one serving as a description of relations between them.

A common property of all three kinds is that they describe coefficients relating three different sequences of polynomials that frequently arise in combinatorics.  Moreover, all three can be defined as the number of partitions of n elements into k non-empty subsets, with different ways of counting orderings within each subset.

Notation

Several different notations for Stirling numbers are in use. Common notation for ordinary (signed) Stirling numbers of the first kind is:

For unsigned Stirling numbers of the first kind, which count the number of permutations of n elements with k disjoint cycles, is:

And for Stirling numbers of the second kind, which count the number of ways to partition a set of n elements into k nonempty subsets:

For example, the sum  is the number of all permutations, while the sum  is the nth Bell number.

Abramowitz and Stegun use an uppercase  and a blackletter , respectively, for the first and second kinds of Stirling number.  The notation of brackets and braces, in analogy to binomial coefficients, was introduced in 1935 by Jovan Karamata and promoted later by Donald Knuth.  (The bracket notation conflicts with a common notation for Gaussian coefficients.)  The mathematical motivation for this type of notation, as well as additional Stirling number formulae, may be found on the page for Stirling numbers and exponential generating functions.

In later years, the more reasonable  and  were used.

Expansions of falling and rising factorials
Stirling numbers express coefficients in expansions of falling and rising factorials (also known as the Pochhammer symbol) as polynomials.

That is, the falling factorial, defined as , is a polynomial in x of degree n whose expansion is

with (signed) Stirling numbers of the first kind as coefficients.

Note that (x)0 = 1 because it is an empty product. The notations  for the falling factorial and  for the rising factorial are also often used. (Confusingly, the Pochhammer symbol that many use for falling factorials is used in special functions for rising factorials.)

Similarly, the rising factorial, defined as , is a polynomial in x of degree n whose expansion is

with unsigned Stirling numbers of the first kind as coefficients.
One of these expansions can be derived from the other by observing that .

Stirling numbers of the second kind express the reverse relations:

and

As change of basis coefficients
Considering the set of polynomials in the (indeterminate) variable x as a vector space,
each of the three sequences

is a basis.
That is, every polynomial in x can be written as a sum  for some unique coefficients  (similarly for the other two bases).
The above relations then express the change of basis between them, as summarized in the following commutative diagram:

The coefficients for the two bottom changes are described by the Lah numbers below.
Since coefficients in any basis are unique, one can define Stirling numbers this way, as the coefficients expressing polynomials of one basis in terms of another, that is, the unique numbers relating  with falling and rising factorials as above.

Falling factorials define, up to scaling, the same polynomials as binomial coefficients: . The changes between the standard basis  and the basis  are thus described by similar formulas:
 .

Example
Expressing a polynomial in the basis of falling factorials is useful for calculating sums of the polynomial evaluated at consecutive integers.
Indeed, the sum of falling factorials with fixed k can expressed as another falling factorial (for )

This can be proved by induction as

For example, the sum of fourth powers of integers up to n (this time with n included), is:

Here the Stirling numbers can be computed from their definition as the number of partitions of 4 elements into k non-empty unlabeled subsets.

In contrast, the sum  in the standard basis is given by Faulhaber's formula, which in general is more complex.

As inverse matrices
The Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds can be considered inverses of one another:

and

where  is the Kronecker delta. These two relationships may be understood to be matrix inverse relationships. That is, let s be the lower triangular matrix of Stirling numbers of the first kind, whose matrix elements

The inverse of this matrix is S, the lower triangular matrix of Stirling numbers of the second kind, whose entries are   Symbolically, this is written

Although s and S are infinite, so calculating a product entry involves an infinite sum, the matrix multiplications work because these matrices are lower triangular, so only a finite number of terms in the sum are nonzero.

Lah numbers

The Lah numbers  are sometimes called Stirling numbers of the third kind.
By convention,  and  if  or .

These numbers are coefficients expressing falling factorials in terms of rising factorials and vice versa:
 and

As above, this means they express the change of basis between the bases  and , completing the diagram.
In particular, one formula is the inverse of the other, thus:

Similarly, composing for example the change of basis from  to  with the change of basis from  to  gives the change of basis directly from  to :

In terms of matrices, if  denotes the matrix with entries  and  denotes the matrix with entries  , then one is the inverse of the other: .
Similarly, composing the matrix of unsigned Stirling numbers of the first kind with the matrix of Stirling numbers of the second kind gives the Lah numbers: .

The numbers  can be defined as the number of partitions of n elements into k non-empty unlabeled subsets, each of which is unordered, cyclically ordered, or linearly ordered, respectively. In particular, this implies the following inequalities:

Symmetric formulae

Abramowitz and Stegun give the following symmetric formulae that relate the Stirling numbers of the first and second kind.

and

Stirling numbers with negative integral values
The Stirling numbers can be extended to negative integral values, but not all authors do so in the same way. Regardless of the approach taken, it is worth noting that Stirling numbers of first and second kind are connected by the relations:

when n and k are nonnegative integers.  So we have the following table for :

Donald Knuth defined the more general Stirling numbers by extending a recurrence relation to all integers.  In this approach,  and  are zero if n is negative and k is nonnegative, or if n is nonnegative and k is negative, and so we have, for any integers n and k,

On the other hand, for positive integers n and k, David Branson defined    and  (but not  or ). In this approach, one has the following extension of the recurrence relation of the Stirling numbers of the first kind:

,

For example,   This leads to the following table of values of .

In this case  where  is a Bell number, and so one may define the negative Bell numbers by .  For example, this produces .

Q: Finding SD by only knowing the mean and one other piece of information "The weights of bags of vegetables are approximately normally distributed with mean of 1kg. One quarter have weight greater than
1.1kg. Find the standard deviation."
I know this question might be simple to most of you, but probability/statistics really isn't my strong suit. I usually understand the standard deviation to be $\sigma=\sqrt{\sum(x_i-\mu)^2\cdot N^{-1}}$. In this case we aren't concerned with specific values of $x$ I don't think, and we don't know the sample size. All I can extrapolate from the question is that since it's 25% that have weight greater than 1.1kg then that 25% starts less than one standard deviation away from the mean.
If I were to guess, I would say that since this is normally distributed then I know that 34% of the bags fall within one standard deviation above the mean, and if 25% have a weight greater than 1.1kg, then 25% have a weight between 1kg and 1.1kg. So the deviation for 25% is 0.1kg which is less than 1 standard deviation, so I think I should multiply 0.1 by $\frac{34}{25}$ to get $0.136$ which, if my assumptions are correct, is equal to one standard deviation?
This doesn't feel concrete, I'm sure there's a more rigorous way to find the answer, any help is appreciated.

A: Hint:
That is not quite the intended approach.
Instead you should say from the standard normal distribution that the upper quartile point is $\Phi^{-1}(0.75) \approx 0.6745$, i.e. $25\%$ of a normal distribution is more than about $0.6745$ standard deviations above the mean.
You then calculate the standard deviation by saying here $0.6745$ standard deviations is $1.1-1.0=0.1$kg and doing the division

Over a couple of days Shelley and I fitted the driveway alarm beams and the NodeMCU based transmitter.
I wanted something like a baby monitor for the cars. If anyone approaches or tries to remove a car, we get notified. Most alarm systems are expensive and tend to use GSM signals to send notifications to mobile phones. We don't have any mobile coverage at home so I wanted something that uses WiFi and the Internet. I could not find anything off the shelf, hence why I've built this.
I'm using Pushover to send push notifications to an app running on our phones. I also have a receiver for use in the house. That's still on a breadboard while I design a housing for it.
The design is fairly simple. If the normally closed switch, on the alarm sensor, is open the NodeMCU sends a push notification to mobile phones and sends network messages to any receivers on the network. There's handshaking at startup to notify all the receivers so they can monitor for tampering.
To protect the driveway I've opted for IR beams. I bought a pair of 100m range beams from ebay that accept a big range of input voltages. Anywhere between about 11Volts and 24Volts. I had a handy 12V adapter. I'm using an OKI-78SR voltage regulator. The OKI-78SR-5/1.5-W36-C I selected accepts any input voltage between 7V and 36V and drops it down to 5V which I then connect to the Vin on the NodeMCU. That way the one 12V adapter powers both the IR beams and the NodeMCU.
Both ends need power so we had to dig a trench across the drive and lay a cable. I used exterior mains cable to reduce the voltage loss. I only need two wires because my code deals with detecting tampering.
It was hard going as confirmed by my mattock!
I did manage to straighten it.
The wooden shuttering in the photo's is to protect the cables from the bites of horses.
The beams need to be aligned for them to work. It was easy when I tried it in the study but it was a bit fiddly in the driveway.
There's supposed to be a way to do it with a built in periscope type device but I could not work out how to use that so I did it by eye. There's a level light that gets brighter as the beams get near to alignment. You can use a voltmeter to get a more accurate setup but it works well enough without going to that degree.
I soldered the NodeMCU to a small piece of stripboard. 13x15 holes. With hindsight I should have aligned the NodeMCU to one side and used jumper wires for the LED. That would have made the voltage regulator fit better. Despite that, my layout does fit in the housing of the beam receiver, so it's OK as it is.
I used some hot glue to hold the fly leads securely under the nodeMCU. I connected the 12V socket outside the IR beam housing to minimise the wires inside. That gave me just enough space for my NodeMCU board.
All connected up, that's it.
Now every time anyone crosses the beams we get notified.

This startup is rebranding vaginal care as fun and cool
Queen V attracts a younger demographic with its better-for-you ingredients, kitschy copy, and neon bright packaging.
By Rina Raphael 5 minute Read
"Our mission is to really destigmatize the word vagina," asserts Lauren Steinberg, founder of feminine wellness brand Queen V. "We're trying to make [feminine hygiene care] a more open discussion, make it a little less taboo."
The 24-year-old launched her line a month ago, and she's already garnered over $650,000 in sales. The collection includes vaginal washes, cleansing wipes, deodorants, and lubes in Lisa Frank-colored packaging with kitschy copy. There's even a daily oral probiotic to promote a healthy, balanced yeast and bacteria, albeit aided with trendy ingredients like turmeric.

Essentially, Steinberg wants to make feminine care fun, approachable, and maybe even cool, for millennial consumers.
"We take a really easy approach to a topic that I think most women find really confusing and embarrassing," explains Steinberg. She found the landscape hard to navigate, even though her own father is a gynecologist. Her circle of friends were equally as frustrated, and few had brands they could recommend despite the fact that three out of four women get a yeast infection at least once in their lifetime. Roughly 25% of infections are UTIs.
Overwhelmed by the variety of brands with complicated directions at the pharmacy, Steinberg often found herself phoning her mother to ask her father for recommendations.
"I'd tell her, 'Don't tell him it's me asking,'" admits Steinberg. "That whole thing was awkward."
The game of telephone ultimately inspired Steinberg to quit her a job as a brand development coordinator at a talent agency and focus full-time on creating a line that incorporated all of a modern women's hygienic needs, instead of the à la carte system that previously existed.

Within a year, the young entrepreneur worked alongside her father and a team of doctors to design a three-step process: maintenance (cleansers), "enjoying your V" (lubricants), and healing (urinary tract support products and suppositories). Most of the products are meant for daily use, save for the healing category.
Steinberg also gave significant attention to the feel and design of the line, noting that competitors "blended together" on supermarket shelves or boasted cheesy, outdated names. "None of the products really stood out to me," she says, "we wanted our packaging to be young, tough and sexy, kind of like the ideal Queen V woman."
Queen V products come in bright neon colors and boast tongue-in-cheek names like "swipe right wipes," "make it reign," or "p.s. I lube you." By using a fun, lighthearted approach, Steinberg hopes to rebrand vaginal care, and maybe even brighten up one's bathroom shelf.
"From the directions to the claims, everything is written in a way that is easy to understand," says Steinberg. "We're taking a simple approach to a topic that is so confusing."
The newly launched line also incorporates a higher percentage of natural ingredients than its big-box predecessors. Aiming to satisfy millennials' interest in better-for-you ingredients, the collection features rosewater, green tea, berry extract, coconut oil, and organic aloe. Essential oils replace synthetic fragrances, while a majority of the products are paraben- and glycerin-free. A recent Harris Poll survey found that 73% of millennial women seek out cleaner, more natural beauty and self-care products.
"We're also really into the idea of educating women as to why they should know what they're putting into their bodies," says Steinberg. "I always say, 'You only get one body, you should treat it right.'"
Despite having what she felt was a firm business plan, Steinberg found raising money particularly challenging. Trying to explain to male investors the complications of feminine hygiene and UTIs was less than encouraging. Many would reply with, "Oh, let me talk to my my wife about this," or "Let me consult my daughter," without ever following up. Even male executives of health-focused companies showed little enthusiasm.
"I was told by a male that I was just a girl with a company that hadn't launched yet," recalls Steinberg. "That lit a fire under my butt."
Queen V's big break came in the form of a personal introduction in early November 2017. Steinberg's boyfriend was friendly with Andy Dunn, the former CEO of bonobos, which Walmart acquired last June. When Dunn heard about Queen V's vision for reimagining women's wellness, Dunn reportedly responded: "Can you get her on a plane to Bentonville, Arkansas, tomorrow?"
Steinberg flew to Walmart's corporate office in Arkansas the next morning, and within the month, she secured an exclusive contract with the retailer. At the time, Queen V had locked in manufacturers (a whopping eight of them), but nothing was in production. The Queen V founder quickly hopped into an accelerated mode, requesting over 100,000 units of every SKU by mid January.
"My manufacturers hated me," laughs Steinberg. "They thought I was some crazy 24-year-old."
While Steinberg is still amazed that Walmart took a chance on a young entrepreneur who had never run a company before, she does think there are benefits to her age, or more precisely, her naiveté. Being "green" shielded her from paralyzing fear.
"I think if I had known what I was getting into–like that having eight manufacturers for 11 products was insane–Queen V wouldn't be what it is today," she explains. The multiple contracts, for example, ensure that each product stems from the manufacturer best suited to its needs. All the products were made in the U.S. and FDA-approved, underwent rigorous testing by Walmart, and reviewed by board-certified gynecologists.
In mid-April, Queen V finally made its Walmart debut in 4,000 locations. The line starts at the low price of $3.57, with the majority hovering at roughly $5. In just one month, the startup proved that there are indeed plenty of women, like Steinberg, who want their feminine care fuss-free and with a flash of flair.
"Now that I've made half a million dollars in sales one month, I think people are really starting to take me seriously," says Steinberg. The brand continues to grow week over week, outpacing itself by nearly 10% each week since launch.
For the time being, Queen V is only available at Walmart and on Walmart.com. But in time, Steinberg envisions a direct-to-consumer alternative, as well as expanding the collection to more areas of care. "There are a few markets that could use a little Queen V touch," she hints. The Los Angeles-based office boasts eight staff members–all women and all millennials.
And now that Steinberg spent 18 months openly discussing vaginal concerns–including her own–with Silicon Valley, she no longer needs to hide her embarrassment. Or sneak health questions through her mom.
"If you had asked me to talk about my vagina in front of men one year ago, I would have turned bright red. I would have not done it," she says, "But now I've gotten used to it. I'm proud of it."

Actress Sidney Leeder Draws Us In
December 11, 2015 Lorraine Wilder Leave a comment
Actress Sidney Leeder shot by Taylor McKay
For an actor, much of the work that goes into physically becoming a certain character comes down to identifying and creating their mannerisms, idiosyncrasies and the way they carry themselves. Movement in itself is a form of communication, something Canadian actress Sidney Leeder knows all about.
Audiences across continents will recognize Leeder from her roles in the films Debug, The Hazing Secret, Salem Falls, and Goon, as well as the hit television shows Beauty and the Beast, Reign, Lost Girl, Debra, Alphas and more; but prior to becoming the sought after actress she is today, Leeder was a professional dancer.
The grace and flawless movement that she brings her characters to life with on screen makes it easy to see that her extensive training as a dancer has made her a more intuitive and dynamic performer than most of her contemporaries.
In the 2011 Lifetime film Salem Falls, an adaption of Jodi Picoult's 2001 novel of the same name, audiences had the opportunity to see Leeder in the pivotal role of Catherine, a young teen who falls in love with her teacher and subsequently turns his life upside down when she claims rape. Directed by Bradley Walsh (The Listener, Turn the Beat Around), the film follows Jack McBradden played by James Van Der Beek (Dawson's Creek), a high school teacher who tries to make a new life for himself in Salem Falls after Leeder's character tarnishes his reputation.
Unfortunately for Jack, his past comes out and turns the whole town of Salem Falls against him except for the one woman, Addie Peabody played by Sarah Carter (Falling Skies, Rogue), who goes to great lengths to track down Catherine and prove Jack's innocence.
Although Salem Falls was one of the earlier films in Leeder's career her performance comes across as that of a seasoned veteran.
"In one of the most pivotal scenes of the film I confess to lying about my alleged affair with professor… The scene takes place while walking down a long passageway. It was lengthy and revealing dialogue that required serious mental concentration. This character was also a challenge to play, as she needed to have just the right balance of maturity and naivety," recalled Leeder.
"Prior to shooting I talked a lot with director Bradley Walsh about the characters motivation and significance. Having the opportunity to delve into such a complex character so early on in my career was an amazing challenge."
Leeder's career continued to skyrocket after the release of Salem Falls with the actress going on to land multiple guest star roles on television shows such as Life with Boys, The L.A. Complex, Degrassi: The Next Generation and Satisfaction. In 2014 she was cast to star in another Lifetime movie, The Hazing Secret, where she took on the riveting role of Melissa.
The storyline of the film revolves around the death of Leeder's character Melissa, a naïve college freshman who makes out with the boyfriend of one of the sister's of the sorority she's pledging. Nancy, the sorority leader, revives the old practice of hazing in order to punish Melissa for her mistake, but when she locks Melissa in a coffin the young pledge suffocates and ultimately pays the price with her life.
Over the course of the film, Megan, one of the sorority sisters who is played by Gemini Award winner Shenae Grimes-Beech (90210, Scream 4), makes it her mission to expose the crime and the truth about Melissa's tragic death. The film, which was directed by Jonathan Wright (Nostrum, A Very Merry Mix-Up), was nominated for an award from the Directors Guild of Canada earlier this year.
If there was ever any question over Leeder's emotional capacity as an actress her knockout performance in The Hazing Secret proves that she can bring the waterworks with natural believability and make an audience feel for her character like the best actors in the industry.
Poster for the film "Debug"
Last year Leeder also starred as Lara alongside Adrian Holmes (The Cabin in the Woods, Elsium), Kjartan Hewitt (Capote), Jeananne Goossen (The Vow, The Night Shift) and Jason Moma (Game of Thrones) in David Hewlett's (A Dog's Breakfast, Rage of the Yeti) sci-fi horror film Debug.
Convicted of eco-terrorism, Leeder's character Lara, along with five others, are placed into a work program aboard a dilapidated spaceship where they are assigned the task of debugging the ship's artificial intelligence, but their job aboard the ship proves to be far more dangerous than simple computer hacking.
"Lara is very intuitive right from the get go. She warns the others that something about this mission feels wrong and explains that she is sensitive to the energy of her surroundings but is ignored," explained Leeder.
When Iam, the ship's AI played by Moma, feels the threat of annihilation, he begins fighting back in surprising ways killing most of the hackers aboard the ship including Leeder's character Lara. Lara's death is one of the most shocking of all as she is virtually raped to death.
Thinking that she is going to try out a kinky method of virtual fraternization with Mel, her beau on the ship played by Hewitt, Lara follows the ships orders and enters its sensory system not realizing that Iam is luring her into a trap.
"She is asked to remove her clothing and enter a pool of crystal clear liquid. As she does this she is transported virtually to a blood stained prison cell where Iam awaits her. It is there that he, and every other man who has set foot on the ship rape and beat her to death," said Leeder.
"While mentally she is in this virtual reality, Lara's physical body is actually drowning in the sensory system pool she entered. By the time Mel finds her it is too late and she is already dead."
From playing the catty teen girls everyone loves to hate to the sweet and innocent girl next door and everything in between, including a psycho serial killer in the film The Killer, Sidney Leeder has revealed herself as an artist with exponential talent. She also recently finished filming multi-award winning director Rachel Meyer's film Lunch, which premiered at the Beverly Hills Playhouse Film Festival last month.
"Being on a film set is one of my favorite places. It's like stepping directly into a storybook. Acting gives me a natural high and allows me to explore myself, connect with others and imagine endless possibilities. I act because not acting simply isn't an option. The need to perform and create has lived inherently in me for as long as I can remember," admits Leeder.

Q: Is every $\mathbb{I}$-compact topological space compact? Let $\mathbb{I}$ denote the unit interval. Call a topological space $X$ $\mathbb{I}$-compact iff every continuous function $f : X \rightarrow \mathbb{I}$ attains its maximum at some point in $X$.

Question. Is every $\mathbb{I}$-compact topological space compact?

We can replace $\mathbb{I}$ with either of $[0,\infty]$ and/or $[-\infty,\infty]$, of course, without changing the meaning of the above definition.

A: If $X$ is $\mathbb{I}$-compact then $X$ must be pseudocompact. This can be seen by a contrapositive: suppose $X$ is not pseudocompact. Then there is a continuous unbounded function $f: X \to \mathbb{R}$. We can assume that $f[X] \subseteq [1,\infty)$ WLOG. But then $1-\frac{1}{f} : X \to [0,1]$ is also continuous and does not assume its supremum $1$, so $X$ is not $\mathbb{I}$-compact..
Reversely, every pseudocompact space is $\mathbb{I}$-compact, as a continuous image of a pseudocompact space is pseudocompact, and in metric spaces pseudocompactness is equivalent to compactness and compact subsets of $[0,1]$ have a maximum. (this is true in any ordered space.)
So the answer is no for e.g.  $X= \omega_1$ in the order topology. There are many more examples of non-compact pseudocompact spaces, like Mrówka's $\Psi$ space, $\Sigma$-products of uncountably many copies of $[0,1]$ etc.
So I think that $X$ $\mathbb{I}$-compact is just equivalent to pseudocompactness of $X$.
So it is equivalent to compactness in the realm of metric spaces, e.g.

38 Twitter employees resign after 87 laid off in Boulder
The resignations came 2 weeks after Twitter announced the layoffs of 87 Boulder employees as part of a larger overhaul after Elon Musk acquired the company.

BOULDER, Colo. — About two weeks after dozens of Twitter employees were laid off from the company's Boulder office as part of a nationwide reduction in the company's workforce, another 38 employees voluntarily resigned.
Since Elon Musk acquired Twitter, he has laid off half the company's 7,500 workforce and many others have quit. At the company's Boulder office, at 3401 Bluff St., about 125 employees will leave the company in January due to either termination or resignation.
A Boulder Chamber of Commerce spokesperson said it was their understanding that the office has about 200 employees.
On Nov. 4, the company notified the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment through the Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification (WARN) Act of approximately 87 layoffs. Terminations will start Jan. 4 for the following employees:
14 first and midlevel officials and managers
70 professionals
1 sales worker
2 administrative support workers
On Nov. 25, Twitter informed the state labor department of an additional 38 employees who had voluntarily resigned and were told on Nov. 18 that their last day would be Jan. 20.
The majority of the employees who resigned were engineers, according to the company's WARN letter.
The resignations came after Musk demanded that hundreds of engineers and other workers pledge by Nov. 17 to "extremely hardcore" work or to resign with severance pay.
Boulder Mayor Aaron Brockett said he found out about this month's round of layoffs from a legal notification from the company.
"Eighty-seven people losing their jobs, that's a substantial impact," he said. "I'm just hopeful with the strong tech community that we have here in Boulder that those folks will be able to find jobs again soon. Hopefully they won't be out of work for very long, but it's going to be very disruptive either way."

Precisely what is a dumpster? A big metal field of varying sizes which you'll throw factors into. Most project professionals hire a dumpster or two very first, then move on to the rest of the prepare. Homeowners who would like to renovate each one room in their homes (particularly the kitchen for example), or the overall house, need to organize a new dumpster of the suitable size for the job as quickly in addition to being inexpensively as they can.

EPJ D Highlight - Quantum noise reduction method for enhanced precision in atomic clocks

Atomic Spin Squeezing: not the Olympic sport of your dreams, but a way of enhancing measurement reliability at the quantum scale
Noise: it affects us all by distracting us. Noise also occurs at the quantum scale and can e.g. interfere with the measurements of atomic fountain clocks or with quantum information processing. This is because at that scale, there are effects that don't exist at larger scales. As such, finding ways to reduce quantum noise can enhance the precision of measurement in the examples given above. Now a team of physicists including Aranya Bhattacherjee from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India and colleagues are investigating ways of improving the analysis of quantum noise measurement in the case of spectroscopic investigations; their preliminary findings were released in a study in EPJ D. This method, called atomic spin squeezing, works by redistributing the uncertainty unevenly between two components of spin in these measurements systems, which operate at the quantum scale. The spin represents a degree of freedom of the quantum particles involved. Thus, the spin component with reduced uncertainty becomes more precise in delivering its measurement - as the two are inversely correlated. Potential applications include the development of future quantum networks.
EPJ D Highlight - Droplet explosion by shock waves, relevant to nuclear medicine
Simulation of a disintegrating droplet.
Ion beam cancer therapy could be improved if ion-induced shock waves are discovered. A new study explores how these predicted waves can be observed
An arrow shooting through an apple, makes for a spectacular explosive sight in slow motion. Similarly, energetic ions passing through liquid droplets induce shock waves, which can fragment the droplets. In a study published in EPJ D, Eugene Surdutovich from Oakland University, Rochester, Michigan, USA with his colleagues from the MBN Research Centre, Frankfurt, Germany have proposed a solution to observe the predicted ion-induced shock waves. They believe these can be identified by observing the way incoming ions fragment liquid droplets into multiple smaller droplets. The discovery of such shock waves would change our understanding of the nature of radiation damage with ions to cancerous tumour. This matters for the optimisation of ion-beam cancer therapy, which requires a thorough understanding of the relation between the physical characteristics of the incoming ion beam and its effects on biological tissues.
EPJ D Colloquium - Two-dimensional laser-induced fluorescence in the gas phase: a spectroscopic tool for studying molecular spectroscopy and dynamics
Two-dimensional laser-induced fluorescence (2D-LIF) extends the usual laser-induced fluorescence technique by incorporating a second dimension, namely the wavelengths at which the excited molecules emit, thereby significantly enhancing the information that can be extracted. It allows overlapping absorption features, whether they arise from within the same molecule or from different molecules in a mixture, to be associated with their appropriate "parent" state and/or molecule.
EPJ D Highlight - Quantum manipulation power for quantum information processing gets a boost
Relationship between the output power and the number of photons.
Improving the efficiency of quantum heat engines involves reducing the number of photons in a cavity, ultimately impacting quantum manipulation power
Traditionally, heat engines produce heat from the exchange between high-temperature and low-temperature baths. Now, imagine a heat engine that operates at quantum scale, and a system made up of an atom interacting with light (photons) confined in a reflective cavity of sub-atomic dimensions. This setup can either be at a high or low temperature, emulating the two baths found in conventional heat engines. Controlling the parameters influencing how such quantum heat engine models work could dramatically increase our power to manipulate the quantum states of the coupled atom-cavity, and accelerate our ability to process quantum information. In order for this to work, we have to find new ways of improving the efficiency of quantum heat engines. In a study published in EPJ D, Kai-Wei Sun and colleagues from Beihang University, Beijing, China, show methods for controlling the output power and efficiency of a quantum thermal engine based on the two-atom cavity. In the familiar heat engine model at macroscopic scale, referred to as the Carnot heat engine, the efficiency increases as a function of the ratio between the temperatures of the low-and high-temperature baths. By comparison, the efficiency of two-level quantum heat engines is related to the level of quantum entanglement in these two states, which are either at a low or a high temperature, and display the same probability of being occupied.
EPJ D Highlight - How well electron transport works in furfural biogas
Schematic representation of the cis-isomer structure of furfural
A new study offers scientists a tool for assessing the energy efficiency of biomass-derived fuel
Furfural is a promising candidate in the quest for alternative biofuels. The combustion industries are very interested in what could become a potential new type of fuel derived from atmospheric-plasma treatment of biomass. But before the gas can be considered for use on a large scale, it is essential to understand its energy characteristics. Now, a Spanish team has published its findings on the gas's energy efficiency in EPJ D. Ana Lozano from the Institute of Fundamental Physics in Madrid, Spain, and colleagues studied an electron beam entering a cell filled with furfural gas molecules to study its scattering characteristics, providing the first accurate experimental evaluation of the effectiveness of the interaction between electron and gas particles—via electron scattering cross-section measurements— for selected electron beam impact energies.
EPJ D Highlight - Folding biomolecule model shows how form dictates function
Published on 25 August 2017
New theoretical calculations of the conformation of very large biomolecules helps in understanding interactions with DNA strands as part of biological functions
Proteins are fundamental macromolecules for life, with a diversity of functions, like acting as channels through cellular walls, catalysers, DNA benders, etc. When it comes to these functions, what matters is the layout of the secondary branches, made up of each protein's amino acids, such as alanine, glutamine, arginine, phenylalanine and tyrosine. These are stabilised mainly by weak interactions-- such as hydrogen bonds, intramolecular interactions, and inter molecular dispersive forces, -- between the backbone and the lateral chain of their amino acids. In a new study published in EPJ D, Jorge González from the University of the Basque Country, in Leioa, Spain and colleagues have developed a theoretical method to calculate the most stable disposition that biomolecules try to adopt when they are together, or in close contact in cases where the bonding is weak. They also demonstrate that their model is consistent with our understanding of the same systems gained from experiments, such as spectroscopic analysis.

EPJ D Highlight - First aid kit in some living organisms helps fix DNA after lengthy sun exposure
Important photolyase residues for DNA binding.
New study unveils the binding mechanisms of enzymes capable of repairing DNA damaged by UV light before any risk of cellular malfunction sets in
Sunburn in living organisms is caused by ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun damaging the DNA in the cells. Many organisms, however, have an in-built mechanism for repairing the sun damage. This is possible thanks to an enzyme called DNA photolyase, which is so specialised that cryptochrome, a structurally similar molecule, is unable to do the same job. By comparing both types of molecule, physicists can understand precisely how the ability of our enzymes to repair DNA boils down to the most minute structural details. In a study published in EPJ D, Katrine Aalbæk Jepsen from the University of Southern Denmark, in Odense, and her colleague Ilia Solov'yov pinpoint the mechanism by which repair enzymes bind to the damaged site.
EPJ D Highlight - Zig-zagging device focuses high-energy radiation emissions
Radiation spectra enhancements for the measurement performed with collimation.
Physicists have found a way to better control high-energy particle emissions in an undulator device that could potentially be used as a source of radiation for cancer treatment or nuclear waste processing
There's no substitute for using the right tool for the job at hand. Using low-energy radiation sources simply isn't suitable for certain tasks: equipment used in cancer treatment requires a strong, monochromatic source of radiation to produce hard X-rays. Other similar radiation sources find applications in nuclear waste processing. To design devices that steadily emit a specific type of radiation, physicists use a special kind of crystal, referred to as a crystalline undulator. In a recent study published in EPJ D, a team has demonstrated the ability to control radiation emissions from a particle travelling through such a device. Tobias Wistisen from Aarhus University, Denmark, and colleagues have shown how to manipulate the emitted radiation by selecting a combination of incoming particle charge and energy, oscillation amplitude and period of the undulator's crystalline lattice.

"Life reborn on the page"
It�s easy to misjudge the South Korean drama, �Poetry.� From the outside, it might appear as another mawkish tale of self-discovery, with an older woman finally seizing the finer triumphs of the world in the twilight of her life, tasting her surrounding at the very moment it�s all about to be taken away from her. Instead, �Poetry� is a far more pained, unsentimental picture, investigating the commotion raging inside a perplexed grandmother, generating over two hours of spellbinding introspection.
Living a quiet life with her unappreciative grandson Wook (Lee David), Mija (Yun Jung-hee, who hasn�t acted in a film since 1994) looks to make ends meet through part-time work as a caretaker for the handicapped man. Receiving a diagnosis of Alzheimer�s from her doctor, Mija is eager to find a creative outlet to help ease her fragile mind, soon joining a poetry class to broaden her horizons. Enthusiastically accepting the taxing writing challenge, Mija is confronted with a world she�s never taken time to study, striving to piece together her thoughts and create art. Unexpectedly, a crisis comes to thwart her progress, learning that Wook was involved in the suicide of a classmate, leaving Mija devastated, forced to scrounge up the considerable amount of money required to make the crime disappear.
�Poetry� is a delicately arranged feature that�s unbelievably skilled at generating unease -- not a jagged, terror approach that holds the picture in a suspenseful death grip, but a nerve pinch that locks in for 130 minutes. While the temptation is there to keep the film in a state of shock, writer/director Lee Chang-dong creates a knotted journey for Mija, where her creative efforts and her domestic concerns find an unanticipated middle ground, forcing the troubled woman to juggle the newfound beauty of life with her grim reality.
The juxtaposition of wonder and dire recognition is the primary component to �Poetry,� keeping the camera trained on the main character as she absorbs all the positive and negative thrown at her, desperate to turn this disorder into personal art on the page. As much as the film details the fallout from the suicide, it also studies the birth of a stimulated soul, with Mija taking in her surroundings for the first time, stopping to study fruit, nature, and her own memories, hoping to build the same inspiration that comes so naturally to her fellow classmates. While the character is hit with unbelievable horrors, she keeps on task, always scribbling in her notebook as she takes care of Wook�s ugly business.
The performance from Yun Jung-hee is nothing short of exceptional, holding �Poetry� in a place of unsettling composure, communicating fright and indignities with a perfectly measured bit of acting that articulates an intricate situation with a mere quake of her eyes. While �Poetry� is on the lengthy side, the glacial pace is rewarded with a full appreciation of Mija�s actions and revelations, deepening the viewing experience with every last absorption of life.

Video: How safe is a Formula 1 car?
RacingNews365.com takes a look at the most important changes over the years regarding the safety of F1 cars.


Throughout Canada, condo buildings add to city skylines at a fast and unstoppable rate. Many buyers remain attracted to the design concepts, glistening architecture and overall modern style that comes with new developments. While resale condos are also popular, their sales still don't compare with the appeal of living in a fresh-faced building.
If you're keen on buying a pre-construction condo unit, here are some details you should know.
Customizing your home is up to your imagination. This means you can choose specific details such as flooring, appliances and cabinetry materials before construction occurs.
You'll pay a 20-25% down payment (but again, in stages).
Your occupancy can start as soon as your unit is ready – no waiting around!
Keeping the three points above in mind, let's talk about the most important point first: making your down payment.
Buying a new condo involves doing some extra math so that getting your unit of choice remains a sure thing. When you buy a resale condo, you can put down as little as 5-10%. With a pre-construction condo, you'll put down as much as 25% in stages. This gives you more time to pay and plan out your finances.
Why does a pre-construction condo require a lot of money down as a deposit?
Pre-construction condo projects are sponsored by a bank. Because banks want a return on investment ASAP, the developers have to get a large chunk of your deposit upfront. This usually amounts to a few thousand dollars to start when you sign the pre-construction agreement. After this, you'll make payments of 5% every 30, 90, and 180 days. Some developers might request deposits at each stage of the building's construction.
When it's time for you to occupy your unit, you'll usually pay the last 5-10% before getting the keys to your home.
On the plus side, after paying the first "chunk" of deposit payments, the developers will have more leeway to accommodate you. Lower occupancy deposits and an extended payment plan are always negotiable, so don't be afraid to ask.
It's been a couple of days and I'm not sure if I want to buy my condo unit anymore. I still have 8 days remaining in a "cooling-off period" to reconsider my offer. What's that?
In Canada, a "cooling-off period" (or rescission period) typically gives you 10 calendar days (weekdays and weekends) to back-out of your housing purchase without financial penalty or loss.
If you still want to buy your home, you should make sure that you talk with your lawyer about getting your mortgage rate and amount pre-approved and that your financial agreements are set in stone.
If you're calling it quits, however, so long as you cancel your offer before the ten-day period is up, you'll legally have to get your down payment back in full from your developer.
I have a finished ground floor unit in a high-rise building and want to move in right away! What are occupancy fees and why do I have to pay them?
You pay occupancy fees (or called "interim occupancy"/ "phantom rent") when you move into a newly-built condo without officially paying the mortgage on it yet. Occupancy fees include maintenance fees, property taxes, unpaid interest on your mortgage, the monthly rental amount and common area fees.
If you live in your unit during this time, the condo building's construction usually isn't complete and therefore can't be registered yet. This means that you'll be paying rent to live in your unit until the title is transferred to you.
Occupancy fees can't be applied towards your mortgage and don't build equity. Sometimes you might have to wait several months to a couple years before you can both get your title and start paying your mortgage.
The positive aspect of paying these fees, however, is that you can receive the interest you've paid on your occupancy fees' monthly interest refunded to you.
However, if you're willing to pay the fees, at least you can get a head start on interior decorating!
I still want to move in and will pay occupancy fees. What can I do to lower the amount I'll be paying to the developers?
If you're eager to move in but want to pay less in occupancy fees, consider offering a larger deposit. Putting down a larger deposit decreases the interest percentage you'll be paying on your occupancy fees.
More well-off people can choose to pay for their unit in-full, but most Canadians don't have that luxury.
What are some other fees that arise when buying a pre-construction condo?
There are a few additional fees that you'll have to cover when you buy your pre-construction unit. This includes paying HST and two months' worth of condo reserve funding when you close your offer. You may also have to pay closing costs that your development builders incurred, such as utility connection fees and taxes on appliance purchases.
You can get an HST rebate on your unit if you'll be occupying it as the owner. This refund can help cover the costs of upgrades or extra aesthetic changes you might want to make in the future.
All in all, buying a pre-construction condo does come with some financial risks, but the pros of being an original unit owner, fancying up your home to your tastes, and enjoying a brand-new building far outweigh the cons.
If you have the cash and an opportunity to buy a unit, go for it – the feeling of new house keys is well worth the wait!

Mamma Roma este un film italian din 1962, regizat de Pier Paolo Pasolini. Drama filmată în alb-negru este al doilea film al regizorului italian. Filmul redă povestea unei femei de moravuri ușoare, jucată de Anna Magnani, care renunță la meseria de prostituată pentru a întemeia un trai mic burghez în Roma. Ea revine în viața fiului ei adolescent Ettore, crescut până atunci la țară, și îl aduce la Roma, pentru a-i oferi un viitor mai bun.

Mamma Roma a participat la ediția din 1962 a Festivalului de film din Veneția, însă nu a fost laureat. Pasolini s-a bazat în afara lui Magnani pe actori neprofesioniști.

Israeli Army Chief to Punish Conscientious Objectors
Israel's army chief indicated tough action would be taken against a group of reserve soldiers and officers who refused to serve in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, saying Friday that their refusal is an incitement to rebellion.
Last week, 52 reservists from front-line combat units published a petition in Israeli newspapers declaring their refusal to serve in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The petition, appearing on the group's Web site, has since grown to 110.
The petition has set off the most intense debate yet in Israel about the military's actions in the West Bank and Gaza Strip during the past 16 months of fighting with the Palestinians. Some of those signing the petition said they were greatly troubled by orders given to them. One soldier said he was court-martialed after refusing to fire from a machine gun at a civilian area.
Ami Ayalon, former chief of Israel's Shin Bet security service, said Friday that while soldiers should not refuse to serve, they should decline to carry out orders they consider immoral.
"I'm worried about how few refusals (of orders) there are by soldiers in the army," Ayalon told Israel TV's Channel Two. "To shoot a youth who is unarmed is a blatantly illegal order. The number of children who have been killed in the last year and a half worries me greatly. … In each case, was there no other choice? Did we have to shoot in order to kill? That's a question that should worry us all."
The armed forces chief, Lt. Gen. Shaul Mofaz, defended the army's performance. Mofaz said senior officers among the conscientious objectors would face suspension and removal from their positions. "If they are noncompliant at that point, we have ways to deal with them," he said.
"In my eyes, it's more than refusal to serve, it's incitement to rebellion," Mofaz told Channel Two. "It's a grave, unprecedented act."
The group says its aim is to sign up 500 reservists and to prod the government to withdraw troops from the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
"We are willing to serve in the (army) as a defense force but not as an occupation force," Amit Moshiach, a spokesman for the soldiers who signed the petition, told Israel Radio.
In a declaration published with the petition, the group said it is willing to carry out any mission in defense of the state — but that Israel's presence in the West Bank and Gaza "does not serve this purpose."
The occupation is corrupting Israeli society and causing the army to lose its "humane character," the statement said.
There have been relatively few conscientious objectors in Israel. The group that came forward last week was the largest since the current round of fighting began.
Most Israeli men do three years of compulsory army service, and are expected to do about a month of reserve duty per year until their mid-40s.
