Released after Ghost in the Shell 2: Man-Machine Interface, Ghost in the Shell 1.5: Human-Error Processor takes place between the the first and second Ghost in the Shell series and represents Shirow's first, aborted attempt to continue the Ghost in the Shell franchise in manga form. As a result, Ghost in the Shell 1.5 is an unfinished project. It's essentially a short story collection depicting several different investigations undertaken by a post-Kusanagi Section 9. Togusa and Batou become the main two characters, with several of the other supporting cast being fleshed out a bit here and there over the course of the volume.
While there are hints at tenuous links to Ghost in the Shell 2, this volume is mostly made up of unconnected stories. Maybe if it had continued a larger arc would have developed, but as it is the book feels like a short story compilation made up of different one off cases. Despite this, Ghost in the Shell 1.5 is a fun little read. Without the Major as the main character, Shirow's able to focus a bit more on the cases and push members of the supporting cast into the spotlight, for better or worse. As a result, it feels more like the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex anime, and might be the most enjoyable and accessible for fans coming to the manga via that series.
The artwork looks fantastic, Shirow's does a first rate job with rendering a sci-fi world the feels fully lived in and realized. The backgrounds are dense and give the sense of a populated and bustling city. The amount of detail he crams into every panel is really astonishing at times, and his action sequences are crackling with energy, motion, impact and weight. While nothing in this volume reaches the heights of some of his crazier fight scenes, they're still engaging and left me wishing he'd given us more in that area.
The Deluxe Edition looks nice and Shirow's artwork benefits from the larger format. The coloring seems a little bit better than that of the first GitS, but there's still a vague murkiness to it in places, and the colors don't seem quite as sharp as they did in earlier, glossy stock, editions. The extras feel a little skimpy, but there is some brief commentary from Shirow in the back matter on the different story arcs, along with a small farewell where he says he has no plans for future Ghost in the Shell stories. This isn't exactly breaking news, but it's still a bit of a shame to see in print. At least it ended by his choice rather than through the loss of work via a natural disaster like with the Appleseed franchise.
While Ghost in the Shell 1.5: Human-Error Processor is a solid and enjoyable read, it does feel a bit like Shirow wasn't sure what he wanted to do with the characters or where he wanted to take them. It's a solid enough read, and dedicated fans of his or of the Ghost in the Shell franchise will probably want this to complete their collection, but I don't think it's one of his essential works.
Ghost in the Shell 1.5 Human-Error Processor: Deluxe Edition is available now from Kodansha Comics. Review copy provided by the publisher.

Mental health facility doesn't satisfy police
From the Portland Tribune, October 22, 2009, & see OUR COMMENT below.
Frustration builds as county crisis center proposal falls short
The closet-sized room near the emergency department entrance at Oregon Health & Science University isn't much — a few chairs, a footstool and a counter. It's not a place police officers want to spend time, but frequently it is a place where they spend half their day, or more, finishing paperwork or just hanging around.
That's because nearly every day Portland police officers pick up people from the streets who are suffering psychotic episodes and might be dangerous to themselves or to others. The officer has the option of taking that person to jail, which police say usually doesn't make sense. The other option is a trip to a hospital emergency room, where staff can assess the newly arrived patient and eventually find placement, most likely in a hospital psychiatric room.
That's where the little waiting room comes in. Police officers are required to stay with people they have brought in until a physician tells them they can leave. But with inpatient psychiatric rooms often filled, and hospital psychiatrists often unavailable, assessment and placement can take hours. So the police officers wait.
Police had hoped that a solution to this longstanding issue was at hand, now that Multnomah County is proceeding with a new crisis assessment and treatment center for mental health patients. But ironically, as plans for this project become clearer, it appears that police officers still will be left frustrated — and still waiting.
In July, county commissioners voted to build the new crisis center, also known as a sub-acute facility, to fill what police, mental health providers and hospitals have long seen as a serious gap in mental health services. The new center would share space in a building that houses nonprofit Central City Concern's David P. Hooper Detoxification Center, east of the Burnside Bridge. Remodeling for the new center is expected to begin next spring.
In most American cities, police can take people displaying psychosis to a psychiatric emergency room — similar to a regular hospital emergency room but set up to quickly triage psychiatric patients and get them off the hands of the police. Portland hasn't had such a facility since the county's Northeast Portland crisis triage center closed in 2001, but some sort of triage center is what Portland Assistant Police Chief Brian Martinek would like from the new sub-acute facility.
He's not going to get it, however, largely because a number of conflicting interests have prevailed.
Administrators at local hospitals would like the center to relieve them of the hundreds of psychiatric patients — many uninsured — who clog their emergency departments even though they don't need traditional emergency services.
Mental health advocates want a place where people in need of immediate psychiatric care and assessment are not mixed in with others who may be experiencing severe psychosis and needing physical restraint.
So the county's plan calls for a 16-bed facility that would use the sanctuary model of care favored by many hospital psychiatric facilities, and that emphasizes minimal use of restraint and seclusion on patients who appear to be out of control.
Not enough money
Joanne Fuller, director of the Multnomah County Department of Human Services, which runs the public mental health system that will include the new center, says the renovation project is expected to cost between $3 million and $4 million. The county has spent $1 million to move the detox center, freeing up space at the Hooper building, which freed up $2 million of Portland Development Commission funds for the remodeling. Fuller says the county is still working on finding the last $1 million to $2 million.
The county estimates that operating the new center could cost around $3 million per year, about half of which could come from Oregon Health Plan coverage of patients. Fuller says the county doesn't yet know where the rest of the money is going to come from — though some money currently spent on hospitalization of mental health patients might be reallocated to the center.
The shortage of available cash will require the new center to perform a limited role, with most patients there no more than 10 days. The hope is that short stays will help patients stabilize to the point that they can access community outpatient mental health services.
What nobody wants, according to Ed Blackburn, Central City Concern's executive director, is a repeat of the last version of a crisis triage center. Blackburn says that plans for that facility were too grand, including 10 units of housing, case managers to help residents, a sub-acute facility with four holding rooms for triage, and a pharmacy.
In the end, Blackburn says, there wasn't enough funding to support the old facility.
"What you had was a lot of people coming in to get their prescriptions refilled and it was a drop off place for police. Once the services started being taken away it collapsed," Blackburn says.
No place for restraint
The less ambitious sub-acute center, which the county hopes to open by late 2011 or early 2012, has a chance of succeeding, according to Blackburn.
"This is going to be much more focused on people who are actually in crisis," he says. "We're not going to try to do too much."
That is why the police won't have their dropoff station.
Fuller says the new center will not be the place for people who need restraint, but it might be appropriate for some patients in psychosis who don't appear violent.
Under current plans, if police officers think they have someone appropriate for the new center, they first would need to have the county's mental health call center or Cascadia Behavioral Healthcare's mobile Project Respond unit authorize placement at the new center.
But assistant chief Martinek says Project Respond too often is not available to police, who need an immediate response. And calls to the crisis line will put police officers in the position of having to assess the status of the person they've just picked up — a role Martinek says police would rather not have.
But that extra assessment step, Fuller says, will help keep the new center from becoming overloaded with patients who need detox from drugs or drinking more than they need mental health services — a problem at the previous crisis triage center.
The police often pick up people who need emergency medical treatment before they need mental health triage. County officials want to keep those pickups from overcrowding the center as well.
"If you become a triage center, you become an emergency center and you fill up too soon," says David Hidalgo, senior operations manger for Multnomah County's mental health division.
All of which leaves the police still looking for a way to disengage from assessing and spending time with psychotic citizens.
"This doesn't solve the police problem," Martinek says. "The mental health field and the law enforcement field are in way different places philosophically."
OUR COMMENT – The Portland Police Bureau are not the users of this facility, or the deciders about what services are provided by this facility. The PPB, and the City of Portland, are not financial contributors to the project. The County has a long-standing agreement that it's mental health services are PATIENT CENTERED. That means the needs and interests of the PATIENT are the foremost consideration in the planning and delivery of services.
The police are impatient for a solution to what they now are recognizing as a long-term shortcoming in their orientation to the issue of mental illness. For thousands of years they've been the cruel cudgel, the push out the door, the clang of a cell door. Now, with limited insight into their role as punishers of persons with mental illness, they're seeking quick solutions.
Secondly, this facility is far from defined. The county plans many public meetings to develop a complete service plan. The police are going to be part of that planning – but it won't be a drag-and-drop.

British widow: 'An animal would have been treated with more compassion'
Dec. 2, 2009 12:00 a.m.
Socialized health care may be free, but as the unfortunately named Luck family in Great Britain found out, free care can cost patients their lives.
In October 2007, the National Health Service Trust agreed to pay Debra Luck and her son Ben £225,000 ($366,000) for the 2002 death of husband and father Ian Luck, although the NHS refused to accept any liability for his horrible death at the government-run Princess Alexandra Hospital in Essex.
"Shattered Lives: 100 Victims of Government Health Care" by Amy Ridenour and Ryan Balis published by the National Center for Public Policy Research, describes Ian Luck's last unlucky days:
"Hospital staff neglected Luck, [who suffered from severe gastric problems, including an ulcer] frequently leaving him to lay in his own vomit and waste and failing to realize the severity of his increasingly-desperate state… Following surgery, Debra Luck was effectively left to look after his health and comfort.
'No one wanted to help us. Every time we asked for pain relief, or to see a doctor, we were told to wait, or that we didn't know what we were talking about,' she said."
By this time Ian Luck was vomiting ten times an hour, but hospital staff refused to change him, forcing his wife to bring in clean clothes and bed linens. "As fast as I changed him he was sick again. The nurses were not interested in helping me." Government nurses forgot to administer painkillers. Government doctors, who failed to keep a record of Ian's treatment, failed to run more tests, but the hospital staff blocked Debra's attempts to transfer her dying husband to a private hospital. Before a chest X-ray for a suspected collapsed lung they finally ordered could be performed, Ian suffered his second cardiac arrest and died.
And, like bureaucrats everywhere, nobody was held accountable.
"For all I know, the same appalling standard of care is still acceptable in that hospital," Debra Luck told the Daily Mail. "If that is the case, then there will be more unnecessary deaths."

Batalá in Washington, D.C. is part of a larger Batalá family created in 1997 by Giba Gonçalves. Born and raised in Salvador, Bahia in Brazil, Giba was living in Paris when he first had the idea for the band. Open to anyone with an interest in learning the samba-reggae beat, the band started off with 60 people.
From Paris it spread to other cities in France, Belgium and the United Kingdom. In 2003, the band finally made its way back to its origins, brought to Brazil by Paulo Garcia, also the founder of the Portsmouth Batalá . Composer and musical director, Giba enlisted the help of friends from the bands and from Salvador in order to create the visual identity of the band. The instruments and clothings are all manufactured in Salvador, Bahia, where the band has a social program that gives jobs to many families. From there they are shipped to the bands around the world.
In 2007, the newest branch of the Batalá band was created in Washington, DC, expanding the reach of the band's music to the United States. Today, there are 30 and counting Batalá bands around the world.
Surdo 1 & 2 are the pulse and heartbeat of every samba band. Each drum is played with alternating beaters. Surdo 1 is tuned low and played on the first beat, Surdo 2 is pitched higher and replies with the second beat. These "bookends", with their energy and insistent driving rhythm, push the beat forward and provide a solid base for other patterns.
The Dobra is the the mid-range sound, the melody drum. This smaller version of the Surdo, played with two beaters, is unique to samba-reggae. The dobra has a particular pattern for each of the pieces, the off-beat pattern featuring regularly, creating the reggae feel. The dobra plays complex patterns of drumming that combine space and notes.
The Repique is played with two flexi sticks, this drum helps call in the breaks and provides a "double layer" of clave to add to the snare. Probably 90% of the patterns played by the snare and the repique are the same. The difference is the sound made by the two sticks, lightening loud and snappy, like popcorn going off.
The snare gives the upper-range of sound, the "white noise" that fills in the spaces left by the other instruments. The snare is the drum that can play with the most nuance and expression.

Liverpool's win at Burnley suggests they are ready for another title tilt | Football News
By Kyle September 1, 2019 No Comments

Comment and Analysis @ghostgoal
Win maintains 100 per cent record and breaks club record run
Last Updated: 01/09/19 1:01am
Virgil van Dijk and Sadio Mane were in fine form for Liverpool at Burnley
Liverpool were impressive in beating Burnley 3-0 at Turf Moor. Any fears that Jurgen Klopp's team would struggle to sustain the form they showed last season are already being dispelled, writes Adam Bate.
When Everton held Liverpool to a draw at Goodison Park in early March, the home supporters celebrated having dented their rivals' hopes of winning the title. Jurgen Klopp did not appear too disappointed at the time because there were "a lot of games to play" – he could not have known that Manchester City would also win their last nine matches too.
That's history now but the significance of Liverpool's response resonates in the present. They have won every single Premier League game that they have played since that day nearly six months ago. Thirteen wins on the bounce, breaking the club record set by Kenny Dalglish's side in October 1990. What a reaction it has been from Klopp's team.
5:31 Jurgen Klopp says he is extremely pleased with the attitude of his players

"I am happy it's a record, it's really nice," he said. "We don't go for these records. This team wants to write their own stories and their own history. They are doing and doing and doing. The one thing is the number. The other is, in the thirteenth game of that series, showing the attitude that the boys showed under pressure. The boys do that every time."
Nine wins to finish last season in such relentless form was one thing. Liverpool were in the thick of a title race and on the way to European glory too. But being the only team to win their first four Premier League games of the current campaign too? It has been an emphatic message to City and the rest. No sign of deflation. Only an added incentive to succeed.
Klopp admitted afterwards that he could not have anticipated that his players – several of them thought to be physically and mentally exhausted following their summer exertions – could possibly have picked up the pace so quickly. He knew this would be a big challenge for his team, with a trip to Istanbul to contest the Super Cup only adding to the complications.

"Pre-season didn't go too well," Jamie Carragher told Daily Week Sports. "So you are thinking how are Liverpool going to start the season? They are top and they've won a trophy. It's been a brilliant start, more than Jurgen Klopp could've really hoped for. Yes, there were some games you would expect them to win but they've come through it with flying colours."
Liverpool were expected to beat Burnley but they could not afford to take this team lightly. It's not a place to just turn up and hope. Not at a fired up Turf Moor with Ashley Barnes in form and the problems posed at every free-kick. "Every set piece is a massive threat," said Klopp. "Massive." But Liverpool resisted to keep their first clean sheet of the campaign.
That was some vindication for Klopp given the scrutiny there has been on his team's high defensive line – scrutiny that would only have increased had Chris Wood converted an early chance when he ran in behind. Sean Dyche had targeted this as an area to exploit. "They are playing a much higher back line that we wanted to affect and we did," he said.
In truth, Burnley had few clear-cut chances after that. Instead, Virgil van Dijk became a ball magnet. Each time Burnley tossed the ball into the box, he was there to repel it. Van Dijk made no fewer 11 clearances in the match. That was not just more than anyone else on the pitch but it was more than the rest of his Liverpool team-mates combined.
"Van Dijk has made a huge difference to them, not just his own ability but the effect on others," said Dyche. "They're a strong defensive unit now so it's hard to break them down."
Questions had been asked of the defence in the opening weeks. This was a good answer. It's also worth noting that Liverpool have scored at least twice in all 13 of their wins. Scoring once against them, as Norwich, Southampton and Arsenal did, is an achievement. Scoring enough to stop them from winning is another thing entirely with these forwards.
Far from starting the season slowly, the busy summer looks to have had the opposite effect on the front three. They are already in peak form while the rest are still warming up. Against Arsenal, Mohamed Salah made the difference. At Burnley, he did not get his goal but it did not matter much because Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino were both on target instead.
The second goal was classic Liverpool as Firmino seized upon a sloppy Ben Mee pass and fed the ball to Mane for him to convert. "They were clinical today," said Dyche. "We gave the ball away and you cannot do it against these because they will pounce. They wait for their moments and when they get their moments they hurt you."
Salah and Mane now have 30 goals each in all competitions for Liverpool since the start of last season. If there was any concern whatsoever at Burnley it was that they might be taking that internal battle a little too seriously given Mane's frustrated reaction after Salah neglected to pass to him during the second half. At least Klopp was able to laugh it off.
1:01 Mane cut a frustrated figure after being substituted against Burnley

As well he might. He knows the star pair are in fine form – there are no signs of their levels dropping. As for Firmino, a forward who could never be accused of selfishness, he looks in even better fettle this time around. The Brazilian was superb last weekend against Arsenal and just as good this time around, dropping into space and always making good decisions.
Will it be enough to go one place better and finally win that Premier League title? City will have something to say about that, of course. But the signs are so promising for Liverpool.
When Dalglish's team set the record, they were the reigning champions but were actually overhauled that season by Arsenal. It is different for this Liverpool side. Their title win is still to come. They still have the hunger. This result is just the latest reminder that being edged out last season was not the end of their showdown with City. The best could be yet to come.

Nanoscribe, manufacturer of 3D printers for high-precision microfabrication, convinced the jury with entrepreneurial successes and extraordinary innovations. While at the time of its spin-off from KIT the company itself was at the forefront of commercializing a new technology – two-photon polymerization – the market and technology leader's high-tech devices are now enabling universities, science institutes and industrial companies to do pioneering work. Especially in medical and communication technology, photonics and micro-optics, this technology is the key to developing applications that so far had not been feasible with other methods.
Nanoscribe was founded by Martin Hermatschweiler, Dr Michael Thiel, Professor Martin Wegener and Professor Georg von Freymann. Initially emerging from a scientific niche, the spin-off which separated from KIT in 2007 has now established itself as a world market and technology leader, employing more than 65 people today. For years it has posted double-figure millions in sales, with well over 1,000 scientists using the high-tech printers at renowned universities and research institutes worldwide. Its course has been set for the future: after opening a subsidiary in Shanghai (China) this summer, another one will follow in the US. For the end of 2019, Nanoscribe also has plans to move into the new ZEISS innovation hub which is currently being built just outside KIT Campus North.
The state award for young companies is organized jointly by the state government and L-Bank every two years. Minister President Winfried Kretschmann is the patron of the competition. The aim is to find economically successful companies from all industries based in Baden-Württemberg which make an exemplary contribution to a sustainable society through responsible entrepreneurial behavior. The state award for young companies, presented for the twelfth time in 2018, is one of the most prestigious and valuable business awards in the whole of Germany. This year, 375 candidates from all over Baden-Württemberg applied for the award.

According to census data in the year 2000 there were 39 housing units in Grasston. This represents a 23.5% decline from 51 in 1990.
Of those housing units, none were located in either urbanized areas or urban clusters, and 39 were located in what is classified as a rural area.
Homeownership rate in Grasston is about 86.1%. Grasston's vacancy rate, including seasonal lodging, is about 7.7%. Average household size is 2.78 people.
The majority of houses, apartments or condos in Grasston were built after 1939.

It was easy to understand the concept and helped me to review the old modules.
The presentation and hand-drawing is very clear and professional, with good pacing and voice inflection for the speaker. However, the video might be a little bit too long and could be more engaging and entertaining if creative examples, e.g. mitosis and meiosis in an animal, etc. were used.

Scott Allen Young, född 1 oktober 1967 i Clinton, Massachusetts, är en amerikansk före detta professionell ishockeyspelare. Young valdes i första rundan som 11:e spelare totalt i NHL-draften 1986 av Hartford Whalers.

Young hade en framgångsrik juniorkarriär som ishockeyspelare när han representerade Boston University. Han utsågs bland annat till NCAA:s bästa spelare vid ett flertal tillfällen. Han inledde sin professionella ishockeykarriär i det dåvarande NHL-laget Hartford Whalers där han spelade i fyra framgångsrika säsonger innan han under andra halvan av säsongen 1990–91 byttes bort till Pittsburgh Penguins där han var med och vann Stanley Cup samma år. I Pittsburgh blev det bara 43 matcher och 27 poäng.

Säsongen 1991–92 valde Young spel i HC Bolzano i den italienska högstaligan där han var lagets stora stjärna och noterades för sammanlagt 22 mål och 39 poäng på 18 spelade matcher.

Inför säsongen 1992–93 återvände Young till NHL för spel i Quebec Nordiques. I Quebec spelade han tre säsonger fram tills 1995–96 då laget flyttade till Denver i Colorado och blev Colorado Avalanche. Youngs första år i Colorado blev mycket lyckat då han med klubben vann Stanley Cup efter en seger mot Florida Panthers med 4-0 i matcher i finalen, och han hamnade på en femte plats i lagets interna poängliga efter att ha gjort 60 poäng. I Colorado spelade han sammanlagt två säsonger. Han spelade även fem säsonger för St. Louis Blues, för vilka han svarade för sin poängbästa säsong i karriären, då han svarade för 40 mål och 73 poäng på 81 spelade matcher säsongen 2000–01. Mellan åren 2002 och 2004 representerade han Dallas Stars.

Young har även representerat det amerikanska ishockeylandslaget vid ett antal tillfällen. Bland hans största meriter i internationella idrottssammanhang kan OS i Salt Lake City 2002 och World Cup 1996 nämnas.

Chris Kaman Injures Finger While Tobogganing At Great Wall Of China
Lakers Gear Report: Get Your New Lakers Merchandise!
The Lakers are currently in China for two exhibition games later this week against the Golden State Warriors as part of the NBA's Global Games campaign. Kobe Bryant will not be playing as he is in the last stage of the recovery process from his Achilles surgery. Steve Nash plans to play in the two preseason games this week, but it depends on how his sore ankle is feeling.
Chris Kaman can add a new injury to the list, after injuring his finger while tobogganing (sledding) down the Great Wall of China on Saturday during a team visit to one of the Wonders of the World. At the Mutianyu portion of the Great Wall, a visitor can reach the top of the hill by a cable car or gondola. To get back down, a visitor can return the same way they came or they can toboggan down.
While trekking down, Kaman's toboggan or sled (wheeled cart with a brake) collided with teammate Shawne William's sled. As William's sled was approaching his toboggan, Kaman instinctively reached out with his hand just before their two carts collided.
Kaman explained the incident (per Mike Bresnahan of the Los Angeles Times):
"I didn't hit the brake the whole time. Guys on the edge were yelling 'Slow down' and I just kept going," Kaman said. "All of a sudden I catch up to this guy close to the bottom, so now I have to brake. Shawne Williams comes behind me without hitting his brake at all and just smashed right into me."
"My hand smashed right between the two sleds. I didn't feel the end of my finger for, like, an hour," Kaman said, extending a bandaged, swollen middle finger. "It's starting to throb a little right now."
Kaman also added that William's sled was going about 20-25 mph, while his sled was going about 3 mph when they collided. However, Kaman said this injury won't cause him to sit out of their next preseason game on Tuesday in Bejing, saying that he will be fine.
Kaman has been impressive so far in the Lakers' preseason, especially with his two-man game with Pau Gasol. Kaman has averaged 11.3 points and 7.7 rebounds per game in three exhibition games (sat out one game) with the Lakers.

\section{Introduction}

A \emph{$k$-SAT function} is a Boolean function $f: \{0, 1\}^n \rightarrow \{0, 1\}$ on $n$ \emph{variables} $x_1, \ldots, x_n$ that has at least one representation as a $k$-SAT (specifically $k$-CNF) formula.
Such a function is called \emph{unate} if it has a formula where, for each $i$, $x_i$ and its negation $\overline{x_i}$ do not both appear in the formula. In other words, a function/formula is unate if it is monotone after first negating some variables (here \emph{monotone} means that only positive literals $x_i$ appear and no negated literals $\overline{x_i}$ appear).

Our main result below proves a conjecture by Bollob\'as, Brightwell, and Leader \cite{BBL03}.

\begin{theorem} \label{thm:ksat}
Let $k$ be a fixed positive integer.
As $n \to \infty$,
the number of $k$-SAT functions on $n$ Boolean variables is $(1+o(1))2^{n+\binom{n}{k}}$,
and $1-o(1)$ proportion of all $k$-SAT functions on $n$ Boolean variables are unate.
\end{theorem}

An easy argument shows that the number of unate $k$-SAT functions on $n$ Boolean variables is at least $(1-o(1))2^{n + \binom{n}{k}}$.
Basically, for each $i$, we can choose whether to negate $x_i$,
and then for each $k$-element subset of the $n$ available literals,
whether to include it as a clause.
There is a small overcount due to unused variables, but it is easy to analyze (see \cite{BBL03}).

Bollob\'as, Brightwell, and Leader~\cite{BBL03} proved a weaker version of their conjecture for the $k = 2$ case, namely that the number of $2$-SAT functions on $n$ Boolean variables is $2^{(1+o(1))\binom{n}{2}}$.
Some special cases of \cref{thm:ksat} were previously known:
$k=2$ by Allen \cite{All07} (also see \cite{IK09} for an alternate proof) and
$k=3$ by Ilinca and Kahn~\cite{IK12}.

We call a $k$-SAT formula \emph{minimal} (the term \emph{non-redundant} was used in \cite{IK09}) if deleting any clause changes the function.
Every $k$-SAT function admits some minimal $k$-SAT formula representation.
Some functions, such as unate functions, admit a unique minimal representation, while others may admit one or multiple such representations.

We establish the following result, which implies \cref{thm:ksat}.

\begin{theorem} \label{thm:formula}
Let $k$ be a fixed positive integer.
As $n\to \infty$, the number of minimal $k$-SAT formulae on $n$ Boolean variables is $(1+o(1)) 2^{n+ \binom{n}{k}}$, and a $1-o(1)$ proportion of all minimal $k$-SAT formulae are unate.
\end{theorem}

As suggested by Bollob\'as, Brightwell, and Leader~\cite{BBL03}, these results open doors to a \emph{theory of random $k$-SAT functions}.
For example, the theorems imply that a typical $k$-SAT function
admits a unique minimal $k$-SAT formula, and furthermore the formula has $(1/2+o(1))\binom{n}{k}$ clauses.
Note that our model is very different from that of \emph{random $k$-SAT formulae} where clauses are added at random (e.g., the recent breakthrough on the satisfiability conjecture~\cite{DSS22}).
Rather, \cref{thm:formula} concerns a random $k$-SAT formulae \emph{conditioned} on minimality.
In this light, our results are analogous to the theory of Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi random graphs $G(n,p)$ in the \emph{dense setting} with $p = 1/2$, which corresponds to counting.
It would be interesting to further study the behavior of sparser random $k$-SAT formulae where each clause is introduced with some probability $p_n$ decaying with $n$, and conditioned on the minimality of the formula.
This leads to a rich source of problems on thresholds and typical structures and potentially interesting phenomena.

In a different direction, we can also ask what happens when the width $k$ of $k$-SAT is allowed to grow with $n$.
Since our proof techniques are quantitative, it allows $k$ to grow rather slowly with $n$ (we have not yet worked out the precise dependence).
A bold conjecture by Bollob\'as and Brightwell~\cite{BB03} states that for all $k \le (1/2 - \epsilon) n$ with any fixed $\epsilon > 0$, the number of $k$-SAT functions on $n$ Boolean variables is $2^{(1+o(1))\binom{n}{k}}$.
This conjecture appears to be outside the scope of current methods.
We leave the following related question as an open problem: how quickly can $k=k(n)$ grow with $n$ so that a typical $k$-SAT function on $n$ Boolean variables is unate?
Curiously, a completely different behavior emerges for $k > n/2$, as observed in \cite{BB03}, and this regime also has a lot of interesting open problems.

\smallskip

This paper is the second half of a two-part work establishing the above results.
The first part~\cite{DMZ22} (by Dong, Mani, and Zhao) reduces the problem, for each $k$, to a Tur\'an problem on partially directed hypergraphs.\footnote{The first paper~\cite{DMZ22} also solves the Tur\'an problem for $k=4$ using a different method from this work.
A separate brute-force computer search by Mani and Yu yielded the $k=5$ case, as documented in the appendix of the arXiv version 3 of \cite{DMZ22} at \href{https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.09233v3}{\texttt{arXiv:2107.09233v3}}.}
In this paper we solve this Tur\'an problem completely for every $k$.

The reduction in \cite{DMZ22} applies the hypergraph container method~\cite{BMS15,BMS18,ST15}, a major recent development in combinatorics.
Our solution to the Tur\'an problem is partly inspired by the method of flag algebras, introduced by Razborov \cite{Raz07}, which reduces graph density inequalities to sums of squares.

\section{Partially directed hypergraphs}

A \emph{partially directed $k$-graph} (abbreviated as \emph{$k$-PDG}) is formed by starting with a $k$-uniform hypergraph (i.e., whose edges are $k$-element subsets of vertices),
and then for each edge,
either (i) leaving it as an \emph{undirected edge}
or (ii) converting it to a \emph{directed edge} by choosing a special vertex in the edge (we say that the edge \emph{points to} or is \emph{directed toward} this special vertex).
We notate a directed edge by putting a $\vee$ on top of the special vertex.
An example of a $2$-PDG (that we call $\vec T_2$) is illustrated below:
\[
\vec T_2 :=
\begin{tikzpicture}[
    scale=.5,
    baseline={([yshift=-.8ex]current bounding box.center)},
    font=\footnotesize,
    v/.style = {circle, fill, inner sep = 0pt, minimum size = 3pt},
    e/.style = {thick, red, postaction={decorate,decoration={
        markings,
        mark=at position .5*\pgfdecoratedpathlength+1.5pt
        with {\arrow{angle 90}}
      }}}]
    \node[v] (1) at (90:1) {};
    \node[v] (2) at (210:1) {};
    \node[v] (3) at (-30:1) {};
    \draw (3)--(1)--(2);
    \draw[e] (2)--(3);
    \end{tikzpicture}
\qquad
\text{edges} = \{12,1\widecheck 3,23\}.
\]

Given a pair of $k$-PDGs, $\vec H$ and $\vec G$, we say that $\vec H$ is a \emph{subgraph} of $\vec G$ if one can obtain $\vec H$ from $\vec G$ by a combination of (1) removing vertices, (2) removing edges, and (3) removing the orientation of some edges. As examples, the left 2-PDG below contains $\vec T_2$ as a subgraph, and the right does not contain $\vec T_2$ as a subgraph.
\[
\begin{tikzpicture}[
    scale=.5,
    font=\footnotesize,
    v/.style = {circle, fill, inner sep = 0pt, minimum size = 3pt},
    e/.style = {thick, red, postaction={decorate,decoration={
        markings,
        mark=at position .5*\pgfdecoratedpathlength+1.5pt
        with {\arrow{angle 90}}
      }}}]

    \begin{scope}
        \node[v] (1) at (0,0) {};
        \node[v] (2) at (1,1) {};
        \node[v] (3) at (2,1) {};
        \node[v] (4) at (3,0) {};
        \draw[e] (2)--(3);
        \draw[e] (3)--(4);
        \draw (2)--(4);
        \draw[e] (1)--(2);
    \end{scope}

    \begin{scope}[shift={(6,0)}]
        \node[v] (1) at (0,0) {};
        \node[v] (2) at (1,1) {};
        \node[v] (3) at (2,1) {};
        \node[v] (4) at (3,0) {};
        \draw (2)--(3)--(4);
        \draw (2)--(4);
        \draw[e] (1)--(2);
    \end{scope}

    \end{tikzpicture}
\]
We say that a $k$-PDG $\vec G$ is \emph{$\vec H$-free} if $\vec G$ does not contain $\vec H$ as a subgraph.

An important $k$-PDG for us is denoted by $\vec{T}_k$, formed (for each $k \ge 2$) by starting with $\vec T_2$ and then adding $k-2$ common vertices to all three edges, e.g.,
\[
\vec T_3
=
\begin{tikzpicture}[
scale=.8,
font=\footnotesize,
baseline={([yshift=-.8ex]current bounding box.center)},
v/.style = {circle, fill, inner sep = 0pt, minimum size = 3pt},

    mark=at position .5*\pgfdecoratedpathlength+1.5pt
    with {\arrow{angle 90}}
  }}}]
\node[v] (0) at (0:0) {};
\node[v] (1) at (90:.9) {};
\node[v] (2) at (210:.9) {};
\node[v] (3) at (-30:.9) {};
\draw[red, thick, rounded corners=10pt] (90:.4) -- +(-40:1.6) coordinate (a) -- +(-140:1.6)--cycle;
\draw[red,  thick] ($ (a) + (-180:.6) $) arc (180:140:.6);

\end{tikzpicture}
\qquad
\text{edges = }
\{ 123, 12\widecheck 4, 134 \},
\]
and
\[
\vec T_4
=
\begin{tikzpicture}[
scale=.9,
font=\footnotesize,
baseline={([yshift=-.8ex]current bounding box.center)},
v/.style = {circle, fill, inner sep = 0pt, minimum size = 3pt},
e/.style = {thick, red, postaction={decorate,decoration={
    markings,
    mark=at position .5*\pgfdecoratedpathlength+1.5pt
    with {\arrow{angle 90}}
  }}}]
\node[v] (0) at (0:.1) {};
\node[v] (0') at (180:.1) {};

\node[v] (1) at (90:.9) {};
\node[v] (2) at (210:.9) {};
\node[v] (3) at (-30:.9) {};

\draw[red, thick, rounded corners=10pt] (90:.4) -- +(-40:1.6) coordinate (a) -- +(-140:1.6)--cycle;
\draw[red,  thick] ($ (a) + (-180:.6) $) arc (180:140:.6);

\draw[rounded corners=10pt,rotate=120] (90:.4) -- +(-40:1.6) coordinate (a) -- +(-140:1.6)--cycle;
\draw[rounded corners=10pt,rotate=-120] (90:.4) -- +(-40:1.6) coordinate (a) -- +(-140:1.6)--cycle;
\end{tikzpicture}
\qquad
\text{edges = }
\{ 1234, 123\widecheck 5, 1245 \}.
\]

We prove the following statement, which, by the reduction in \cite{DMZ22}, implies \cref{thm:ksat,thm:formula}.

\begin{theorem}\label{thm:turan}
Let $k\ge 2$ be a positive integer.
There exists some $\theta > \log_2 3$ such that every $n$-vertex $\vec T_k$-free $k$-PDG with $\alpha \binom{n}{k}$ undirected edges and $\beta \binom{n}{k}$ directed edges satisfies
\[
\alpha + \theta \beta \le 1 + o_{n \to \infty}(1).
\]
\end{theorem}

\begin{remark}[A sketch of the reduction]
Let us sketch this reduction and defer to \cite{DMZ22} for details. The reader is welcomed to skip this remark.

We wish to prove \cref{thm:formula} and count minimal $k$-SAT formulae.
We relax the minimality condition and actually upper bound the number of $k$-SAT formulae that avoid some short certificate of non-minimality.
There is a useful analogy between the latter problem and counting triangle-free graphs on $n$ vertices.
The hypergraph container method allows us to reduce such an asymptotic enumeration problem to a Tur\'an problem (along with supersaturation, which is automatic in the dense setting).

For counting minimal $k$-SAT formulae, containers are themselves $k$-SAT formulae (but not ne\-cessarily minimal).
We say that a formula is \emph{simple} if every $k$-element subset of variables supports at most one clause (e.g., $x_1x_2x_3$ and $x_1x_2\overline{x_3}$ do not both appear as clauses).
We say that a formula is \emph{semisimple} if every $k$-element subset of variables supports either at most one clause, or exactly two clauses differing by negation at exactly one variable (e.g., $\{x_1\overline{x_2}x_3, x_1\overline{x_2}\overline{x_3}\}$, but not $\{x_1x_2x_3,x_1\overline{x_2}\overline{x_3}\}$).

We wish to upper bound the number of simple minimal $k$-SAT formulae (it turns out there are negligibly many non-simple ones).
The container theorem produces a small collection of container formulae, such that each simple $k$-SAT formula is contained in some container.
These containers satisfy additional properties.
For example, each container is, up to removing $o(n^k)$ clauses, a semisimple formula.
We can convert a semisimple $k$-SAT formula (arising from a container) to a $k$-PDG by converting each clause to an edge, and whenever two clauses are supported on the same set of variables, we direct the edge towards the unique differing variable (e.g., $\{x_1\overline{x_2}x_3, x_1\overline{x_2}\overline{x_3}\}$ becomes $12\wc3$).
The $\vec T_k$-free condition for $k$-PDGs corresponds to a certain short certificate of non-minimality in the semisimple formula (we actually need to consider a 2-blow-up in this step, but let us skip that discussion here).

Consider a container $G$.
Among all $k$-element subsets of variables (out of $\binom{n}{k}$ total),
suppose $\alpha \binom{n}{k}$ of them support exactly one clause in $G$,
and $\beta\binom{n}{k}$ of them support exactly two clauses in $G$.
To choose a simple subformula, we have two choices for each of the first type (i.e., whether to include or not), and three choices for each of the second type (i.e., keep one of the two clauses, or discard both).
Then the number of simple subformulae of $G$ is $2^{\alpha \binom{n}{k}} 3^{\beta \binom{n}{k}} 2^{o(n^k)}$.
The container theorem guarantees us that the number of containers is $2^{o(n^k)}$.
Thus, we find that the number of simple minimal formulae is at most $2^{\alpha \binom{n}{k}} 3^{\beta \binom{n}{k}} 2^{o(n^k)}$,
and we wish to obtain an upper bound of $2^{(1+o(1))\binom{n}{k}}$, i.e.,
  we want $\alpha + (\log_2 3) \beta \le 1 + o(1)$. This is the reason for the appearance of $\log_2 3$ in \cref{thm:turan}.
This sketches the proof that the number of minimal $k$-SAT formulae is $2^{(1+o(1))\binom{n}{k}}$. To get the more precise count of $(1+o(1)) 2^{n + \binom{n}{k}}$, one needs an additional stability argument to handle the case when $\alpha$ is close to $1$. The stability argument was introduced in \cite{IK12} for $3$-SAT, and extended in \cite{DMZ22} to general $k$-SAT.
\end{remark}

\section{Solution of the Tur\'an problem}

We only consider $k\ge 4$ from now on, as \cite{DMZ22} already gives simple proofs of \cref{thm:turan} for $k=2$ and $k=3$.
Here is the key lemma.

\begin{lemma} \label{lem:flag-ineq}
	Let $k \ge 4$ be a positive integer.
	There exist $\theta > \log_23$ and $a,b \in \mathbb{R}$ (depending on $k$) such that  the following holds.
	Suppose $\vec F$ is a $\vec T_k$-free $k$-PDG on $k+1$ vertices.
	Let $x_1, \dots, x_{k-1}, y, z$ be a permutation of vertices of $\vec F$ chosen uniformly at random.
	Denote $x := x_1\ldots x_{k-1}$.
	Then, we have that
	\[
	\mathbb{P}(x y) + k\theta \mathbb{P}(x\widecheck y) + a^2 \mathbb{P}(\underline{x y}, \underline{x z}) - 2ab \mathbb{P}(\underline{x y}, x\widecheck z) + b^2 \mathbb{P}(x \widecheck y, x \widecheck z) \le 1,
	\]
	where $x y$ denotes the event that $x_1 \ldots x_{k-1} y$ forms an undirected edge in $\vec F$,
	$x \widecheck y$ denotes the event that $x_1 \ldots x_{k-1} \widecheck y$ is a directed edge in $\vec F$,
	and $\underline{x y}$ denotes the event that there is no edge with vertices $x_1, \ldots, x_{k-1}, y$ in $\vec F$.
\end{lemma}
\begin{remark}
The proof gives $\theta = 1 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \ge 1.707 > 1.585 > \log_2 3$.
\end{remark}

\begin{proof}[Proof of \cref{thm:turan} for $k\ge 4$ using \cref{lem:flag-ineq}]
Let $\vec H$ be an $n$-vertex $\vec T_k$-free $k$-PDG with $\alpha \binom{n}{k}$ undirected edges and $\beta \binom{n}{k}$ directed edges.

Let $x_1,\dots,x_{k-1},y,z$ be vertices of $\vec H$ chosen without replacement uniformly at random.
Applying \cref{lem:flag-ineq} (by first conditioning on the set of $k+1$ randomly selected vertices) and using notation of the lemma,
\[
\mathbb{P}(x y) + k\theta \mathbb{P}(x\widecheck y) + a^2 \mathbb{P}(\underline{x y}, \underline{x z}) - 2ab \mathbb{P}(\underline{x y}, x\widecheck z) + b^2 \mathbb{P}(x \widecheck y, x \widecheck z) \le 1.
\]
Note that $\mathbb{P}(x y)=\alpha$ and $k \mathbb{P}(x\widecheck y)=\beta$.
It remains to show that
\[
a^2 \mathbb{P}(\underline{x y}, \underline{x z}) - 2ab \mathbb{P}(\underline{x y}, x\widecheck z) + b^2 \mathbb{P}(x \widecheck y, x \widecheck z) \ge -o(1).
\]
We will show that this inequality holds for every fixed choice of $x$.
Conditioned on $x$, we see that $y$ and $z$ are uniformly chosen vertices without replacement in $V(\vec F) \setminus \set{x_1, \dots, x_k}$.
When $n$ is large, this is not much different than with replacement, so that $y$ and $z$ are conditionally independent given $x$.
In particular,
$\mathbb{P}(\underline{x y}, \underline{x z} | x) = \mathbb{P}(\underline{x y}| x)^2 + o(1)$,
and $\mathbb{P}(\underline{x y}, x\widecheck z | x) = \mathbb{P}(\underline{xy} | x) \mathbb{P}(x \widecheck y | x) + o(1)$,
and
$\mathbb{P}(x \widecheck y, x \widecheck z | x) = \mathbb{P}(x \widecheck y | x)^2 + o(1)$.
Then we can prove the above displayed inequality, conditioned on any $x$, by observing that

\begin{align*}
\MoveEqLeft a^2 \mathbb{P}(\underline{x y}, \underline{x z} | x) - 2ab \mathbb{P}(\underline{x y}, x\widecheck z | x) + b^2 \mathbb{P}(x \widecheck y, x \widecheck z | x)
\\
&= a^2 \mathbb{P}(\underline{x y}| x)^2  - 2ab  \mathbb{P}(\underline{xy} | x) \mathbb{P}(x \widecheck y | x) +  b^2 \mathbb{P}(x \widecheck y | x)^2 - o(1)
\\
&= \paren{ a \mathbb{P}(\underline{x y}| x) - b \mathbb{P}(x \widecheck y | x)}^2 - o(1) \ge -o(1). \qedhere
\end{align*}
\end{proof}

Finally, it remains to prove \cref{lem:flag-ineq}.

\begin{proof}[Proof of \cref{lem:flag-ineq}]
Let $\vec H$ be a $\vec T_k$-free $k$-PDG on $k+1$. Construct a digraph $D$ on the same vertex set:
\begin{enumerate}
	\item For every directed edge in $\vec H$ missing vertex $i$ and directed towards vertex $j$, add the directed edge $i \to j$ in $D$.
	\item For every undirected edge in $\vec H$ missing vertex $i$, add the loop $i \to i$ in $D$.
\end{enumerate}
Notice that every vertex in $D$ has out-degree at most $1$. Moreover, since $\vec H$ does not contain $\vec T_k$ as a subgraph, $D$ is free of the following forbidden pattern:
\begin{itemize}
	\item \emph{Forbidden pattern:} $i_1 \to i_2 \to *$ and $i_3 \to *$ for three distinct vertices $i_1,i_2,i_3$, where $*$ can be any vertex (the two $*$'s do not have to be the same).
\end{itemize}

It is easy to deduce the following exhaustive classification of all digraphs $D$ on $k+1$ vertices  with out-degree at most $1$ at every vertex, and without the above forbidden pattern:
\begin{enumerate}
	\item [(A)] $i \to j \to i$ for distinct $i,j$. No other edges.
	\item [(B)] $i \to j \to j$ for distinct $i,j$. No other edges.
	\item [(C)] $i_1 \to i_2 \to i_3$ for distinct $i_1,i_2,i_3$. No other edges.
	\item [(D)] No vertex has both positive in-degree and positive out-degree.
\end{enumerate}

Write $i\rightarrow\varnothing$ to denote  that $i$ has out-degree 0 in $D$. The inequality in \cref{lem:flag-ineq} then translates to
\begin{multline}
	 \label{eq:d-ineq}
	\mathbb{P}(z \to z)
	+ k \theta \cdot \mathbb{P}(z \to y)
	\\
	+ a^2 \mathbb{P}(y \to \varnothing, z \to \varnothing)
	- 2ab \mathbb{P}(y \to z, z \to \varnothing)
	+ b^2 \mathbb{P}(y \to z, z \to y)
	\le 1.
\end{multline}

Let $u$ and $d$ denote the number of undirected and directed edges in $\vec H$, respectively. We calculate the terms in  inequality \cref{eq:d-ineq}:
\begin{align*}
\mathbb{P}(z \to z) &= \frac{u}{k+1}, \quad
\mathbb{P}(z \to y) = \frac{d}{k(k+1)},
\\
\mathbb{P}(y \to \varnothing, z \to \varnothing) &= \frac{(k+1-u-d)(k-u-d)}{(k+1)k},
\\
\mathbb{P}(y \to z, z \to \varnothing)
&= \begin{cases}
 	0 & \text{in cases (A) and (B)}, \\
 	\frac{1}{(k+1)k} & \text{in case (C)}, \\
 	\frac{d}{(k+1)k} & \text{in case (D)},
 \end{cases}
\\
\mathbb{P}(y \to z, z \to y) &= \begin{cases}
 \frac{2}{(k+1)k} & \text{in case (A)}, \\
 0 & \text{in case (B), (C) and (D)}. \\
 \end{cases}
\end{align*}
Then \cref{eq:d-ineq} reduces to simpler inequalities in each of the four cases:
\begin{itemize}
	\item [(A)]  When our digraph is of the form $i \to j \to i$ for distinct $i,j$ with no other edges,~\cref{eq:d-ineq} simplifies to
	\begin{equation}\label{eq:a}
	\frac{2\theta}{k+1} + \frac{(k-1)(k-2)}{(k+1)k} a^2 + \frac{2}{(k+1)k} b^2 \le 1.
	\end{equation}
	\item [(B)] Since $\theta \ge 1$, the associated inequality in this case is implied by (A); we note the inequality below, but do not need to consider this case separately:
	\[
	\frac{1}{k+1} + \frac{\theta}{k+1} + \frac{(k-1)(k-2)}{(k+1)k} a^2 \le 1.
	\]
	\item [(C)] The inequality in this case is also implied by (A), so we also need not consider it separately:
	\[
	\frac{2\theta}{k+1}
	+ \frac{(k-1)(k-2)}{k(k+1)}a^2
	- \frac{2}{k(k+1)}ab\le 1.
	\]
	\item[(D)] In this case, if $d = 0$ then $u \le k+1$, and if $d \ge 1$ then $u + d \le k$. The inequality reduces to
	\begin{equation}\label{eq:c}
	\frac{u}{k+1} + \frac{\theta d}{k+1} + \frac{(k+1-u-d)(k-u-d)}{(k+1)k} a^2  - \frac{2d}{(k+1)k} ab \le 1.
	\end{equation}
\end{itemize}
Thus it remains to show that we can choose parameters $\theta > \log_2 3$ and $a, b \in \mathbb{R}$ to make the inequalities implied by (A) and (D) true. We choose
\[
\theta = 1 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} > 1.707,
\, \text{ satisfying }\ \ 2\theta^2 - 4\theta + 1 = 0,
\quad \text { and }\ \
a = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},
\,\,\
b = \frac{k(\theta - 1) - 1}{\sqrt{2}}.
\]

We can verify~\cref{eq:a}, establishing the desired inequality for case (A) (and thus cases (B) and (C)) via a direct substitution:
\begin{align*}
\MoveEqLeft \frac{2\theta}{k+1} + \frac{(k-1)(k-2)}{(k+1)k} a^2 + \frac{2}{(k+1)k} b^2 - 1
\\
&=
\frac{2\theta}{k+1} + \frac{(k-1)(k-2)}{2(k+1)k} + \frac{(k(\theta-1)-1)^2}{(k+1)k} - 1
\\&=
\frac{4k\theta + (k-1)(k-2) + 2(k(\theta-1)-1)^2 - 2(k+1)k}{2(k+1)k}
\\
&=
\frac{4 - k + k^2 ( 2\theta^2 - 4\theta + 1)}{2(k+1)k}
=
\frac{4 - k}{2(k+1)k} \le 0.
\end{align*}

To verify~\cref{eq:c} for (D),
observe that the left-hand side of \cref{eq:c} is non-decreasing in $u$. Indeed, replacing $u$ by $u+1$ increases the expression by at least
\[
\frac{1}{k+1} - \frac{(k+1)k - k(k-1)}{(k+1)k} a^2
= \frac{1}{k+1} - \frac{2}{k+1} a^2 = 0.
\]
Consequently, it remains to verify case (D) when $u$ is as large as possible, meaning $u+d \in \set{k,k+1}$, which makes the second term in~\cref{eq:c} is zero. The left-hand side of~\cref{eq:c} becomes
\begin{align*}
\frac{u}{k+1} + \frac{\theta d}{k+1}  - \frac{2d}{(k+1)k} ab.
\end{align*}
If $d = 0$, then $ u = k+1$, and the inequality clearly holds.
Otherwise, $d + u = k$.
Since the above expression is linear in $u$ (or equivalently, linear in $d$), the maximum is attained at one of endpoints $(u,d) = (k,0)$ or $(0,k)$. The only nontrivial situation to check is $(u,d) = (0,k)$, in which case the above expression is
\[
\frac{k\theta}{k+1} - \frac{2}{k+1} ab
= \frac{k\theta}{k+1} - \frac{k(\theta - 1) -1}{k+1} = 1.
\]
Therefore, \cref{eq:d-ineq} always holds.
\end{proof}

Liverpool Gossip: £28m Bid In The Pipeline, Gotze Boost & German Defender Targetted
Tom Myers
Jurgen Klopp's first summer in charge of Liverpool promises to be a busy one indeed. Many comings and goings are expected at Anfield over the next few months as Klopp decides who he will keep to help mount a challenge for the Premier League title and who he deems unworthy of wearing the famous red shirt.
Klopp has already secured the signature of Joel Matip from Schalke and more are sure to follow. We take a look at three of the transfer rumors doing the rounds today.
Update: Borussia Dortmund beat Liverpool to £28million Ousamme Dembele (Fresh Football)
Liverpool have made enquiries about Rennes forward Ousmane Dembele but may have to pay a massive £28 million to secure his services. The 18-year-old have impressed in Ligue 1 so far this season scoring 12 goals and winning the young player of the year award.
Such a rise to prominence has got many big clubs looking in the direction of Dembele and Klopp may have to fight off competition from former club Borussia Dortmund for the player. Klopp and Dembele have already spoken and Dembele is thought to be impressed by the German.
One possible snag is that there is an ongoing dispute between Dembele's representatives and Rennes. the French club is keen to sell him to Dortmund and the player and family have visited their training ground in the past few weeks.
Gotze told he is not wanted by Bayern (Suddeutsche Zeitung)
Mario Gotze looks destined to move away from Bayern Munich this summer and Liverpool could be a likely destination. Incoming manager Carlo Ancelotti does not see the 23-year-old World Cup winner as having a future at the club and is keen to move him on.
Bayern this week have signed Renato Sanches from Benfica and Gotze's time on the field with the first team could be limited going into next season. This year Gotze has been limited to just 13 Bundesliga appearances due to injury and poor form, Guardiola preferring to play Kingsley Coman instead.
If Gotze does transfer to Liverpool then he will re-unite with Klopp who he played under at Borussia Dortmund winning two league titles and reaching a Champions League final.
Stuttgart defender Rudiger on radar (Daily Star)
Stuttgart defender Antonio Rudiger is on the radar of Liverpool manager Klopp. The Germany international has been on loan at Roma this season and has impressed helping the Serie A side to second in the table. A player like Rudiger would have been useful as Stuttgart are struggling with relegation and are currently second from bottom in the Bundesliga.
Klopp must believe that his defence needs some strengthening and is looking at Rudiger as an option for the coming season. Having already signed Joel Matip from Schalke, Klopp is attempting to do his business early and has identified the central defensive area as one that needs improving.
With Mamadou Sakho out of contention and Kolo Toure well into his mid-thirties, it is time for fresh bodies at Anfield. Rudiger and Matip could be a solid partnership for Klopp in years to come.

The technical specifications for, and testing of, the interconnection between utility electric power systems (EPS) and distributed energy resources (DER) are the focus of this standard. It provides requirements relevant to the performance, operation, testing, safety considerations, and maintenance of the interconnection. It also includes general requirements, response to abnormal conditions, power quality, islanding, and test specifications and requirements for design, production, installation evaluation, commissioning, and periodic tests. The stated requirements are universally needed for interconnection of DER, including synchronous machines, induction machines, or power inverters/converters and will be sufficient for most installations. The criteria and requirements are applicable to all DER technologies interconnected to EPS at typical primary and/or secondary distribution voltages. Installation of DER on radial primary and secondary distribution systems is the main emphasis of this document, although installation of DER on primary and secondary network distribution systems is considered. This standard is written considering that the DER is a 60 Hz source.

Q: Create variables programmatically I want to change the number of tableviews depending on my input, which will change depending on the user and i need to be able to reference these tableviews in my data source, as they should retain different data depending on the tableview. I figured this might be done if I could create a unique variable for each of the created tableviews, but i would need to be able to reference these variables through my whole class?

A: You can create an NSMutable Array and add UITableView in them directly . You can make create global variable store using  static reference and access it globally .
@interface Singleton : NSObject {
  NSMutableArray *TableArray;
}
+ (Singleton *)instance;
@end

@implementation Singleton

+ (Singleton *)instance  {
    static Singleton *instance;

    @synchronized(self) {
        if(!instance) {
            instance = [[Singleton alloc] init];
        }
    }
    return instance;
}

The other alternative would be to include NSMutableArray in you appdelegate and access it throughout  your application globally.
Creating objects dynamically is not a problem .
you can create as many UITableview's and add them to an NSMutableArray using.
UITableview *temp = [UITableview alloc] initWithFrame : ... ];
temp.delegate = self ;
tableArray.addObject(temp);

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{

      if(tableView  = [tableArray objectAtIndex:x]{
        // do this
       }
        else if (select appropriate table view from array ){

       }
       //do this for the rest
 }

What you are facing is an design issue . For other alternatives please refer Apple Guides for Objects Communication

A: Why not create an NSMutableArray member variable to store them all?  When you need to change the data source, set the specific tableview to the data source.  I'm not sure of the details of what exactly you're trying to do, but adding them dynamically and changing the data source shouldn't be a problem.

Human Small Airway Epithelial Cells (HSAEpC) are isolated from the distal portion of lung tissue in the bronchiole area of the respiratory tract. Located in a region critical to gas exchange and immune response, HSAEpC provide an in vitro model to research cell biology, immunology and pharmaceutical drug discovery. The small (pulmonary) epithelium forms a continuous lining in the airways, offering mechanical and immunological barriers against the external environment, physically protecting the underlying submucosa.
For general cell biology and airway function, the cells provide insights into pulmonary fluid balance, vascular and airway homeostasis and even the lung microbiome. Other work highlights epithelial cell junction integrity, and maintenance of the alveolar barrier integrity that provides first line host defense against inhaled pathogens. HSAEpC help unravel inflammatory signaling pathways, transcription factors and gene expression cascades. Decades of work in lung remodeling, wound healing and repair of surface airway epithelium damage have more recently paved the way to lung organoids and 3D models of small airway epithelium.
Primary HSAEpC offer physiological relevance to the study of respiratory infection, recognition, and immune responses to bacteria, viruses and other foreign invaders like nanoparticles, air pollution and cigarette smoke. Such insults trigger production of chemokines, cytokines and lipids that mediate inflammation and recruit inflammatory cells. HSAEpC dysregulation has also be studied in terms of apoptosis, superoxide production and the effects of hypoxia or radiation.
HSAEpC are targeted in chronic diseases like bronchiolitis, asthma, COPD, cystic fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension and lung cancer. Accordingly, the cells find increasing applications for drug discovery assays, in the hope to identify new therapeutic options to treat or prevent airway disorders. Such tests included compound screening, toxicology, drug uptake and response, in formats ranging from standard 2D assays and microplates to 3D tissue models and airway-on-a-chip technology.
(Click to Enlarge) Human Small Airway Epithelial Cells (HSAEpC) play important roles in gas exchange, immune response and barrier function. They are available cryopreserved, as fresh proliferating cells, or in convenient kits containing media and subculture reagents. Staining: CK18 (red) and CK19 (green).

Majestic Budapest has an Imperial past; more and more of the 19th century grandeur of the Hapsburg Empire is being revealed as the city is restored. The twin cities of Buda, on the west bank of the Danube, and Pest, on the east, were only united in 1873. Gothic Buda has an old-world feel while Pest has broad boulevards. There are no less than 123 thermal pools to choose from. Music lovers should visit the Bela Bartok Museum and the Liszt Museum, as well as the ornate State Opera House; we can obtain tickets for you for the opera and ballet performances given here.

Patrik Antonius Suffering from Back Problems?
In case you missed the official World Series of Poker (WSOP) coverage of the $1,000 buy-in Stimulus Special No Limit Hold'em tournament, Maya Gellar revealed to tournament officials why her significant other was a no-show to the event. She explained that Patrik Antonius' back is "hurt and he's waiting for the cash games at the Bellagio." The quote is taken from the official WSOP live coverage.
Around the same time, play resumed in the Tom Dwan Million Dollar Challenge, with the contest officially surpassing the 15,000 hand mark. We hope that Antonius can recover in time for the 2009 WSOP Main Event, which begins on July 3rd with the first of four starting days. With 16 hour sessions the norm in that event, back problems could pose a significant problem. The Main Event does not play down to its final table until July 15th.
Health issues or not, Antonius faced off against Brian Townsend in May 22nd's Friday Night Fights on Full Tilt Poker and has been relatively active online.


Apex International Energy, an independent oil and gas exploration and production company focused on Egypt, provides an update on their two exploration concessions in the Western Desert. The two concession agreements consist of 1.7 million acres encompassing the West Badr el Din (4,180 km 2) and South East Meleiha (2,535 km 2) concessions, located in the prolific Abu Gharadig Basin in Egypt's Western Desert. As previously announced, Apex was awarded the two blocks as part of the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) 2016 bid round with the Production Sharing Contracts signed on August 29, 2017.
"These contracts awards represent an important step in building Apex into an upstream company of scale in Egypt," said Roger Plank, Apex international Founder and CEO. "The exploration potential on our two concessions is considerable, and we are eager to start operations later this year. We started re-processing existing 3D seismic at West Badr el Din Concession in December 2017 to identify drillable prospects. At Southeast Meleiha Concession we will commence 3D seismic acquisition operations in the fourth quarter. We expect to begin drilling the first of six exploration wells before year end. We thank the Ministry of Petroleum and EGPC for their continued support and partnership in advancing our exploration program. Egypt is a very attractive place to explore and we look forward to working together to tap its considerable hydrocarbon potential."

Writing a decent company profile is not very hard to do. By just following a few simple rules and making sure that you are well prepared, you will find that it is very easy to write a company profile by yourself.
Now the audience of your company profile is not going to be someone who wants to purchase your company, so you are not going to have to include vast amounts of detail and in-depth information regarding the goings on in your company. A basic company profile will give a brief outline of your company's products or the services that it provides, its mission statement, information about the employees and unique aspects that are tailored specifically to your company.
All companies are different, and although some of them may provide the same products to the general public, their mission and background stories will be completely different. So it might be a good idea to research the background of the product that your company sells so that you can write a little description in your company profile. For example, if your company sells coffee beans you can describe where they come from, who picks them and how they are tested. Of course this would be different for a company that sells movies, which should use short snappy catch phrases and words to grab attention.
There are steps that you can follow in order to write a good company profile. First of all, gather the contact information of your company including its name, main location or headquarters, mailing address, main telephone number, web address and email address, if applicable. This should be the easiest and quickest step to complete. Grab a pen and paper and define what exactly it is that your company does and how it does it, how many facilities your company operates and its products and services. Then include the background or history of the company. Then include a basic profile of the key figures of your company. And finally write down any future ideas or goals that your company wishes to achieve.
Company profile is basically a resume for your company. Your company profile narrates your company's effectiveness for satisfying customer needs. Yes , you should mention your parent company , in the first para. No need to mention the details. Divide your profile in three paragraphs. First para should be devoted to your company's name, credential, and background. Mention the year of birth. Second para should focus on your clients (high level) and mention details of your company's business size, products or services and philosophy .
Lastly, list your achievements and goals, which you have accomplished since beginning.
Don't FORGET TO MENTION YOUR MISSION STATEMENT.
