クエリ: take it to the limit one more timeを歌っているのは誰か
文章: ランディ・マイズナー 1971年夏、再びボイランの誘いでリンダ・ロンシュタットのバック・バンドのメンバーとして採用され、そこでドン・ヘンリー、グレン・フライと出会う。後にバーニー・レドンも加わり、同年9月、ヘンリー、フライ、レドンとともにイーグルスを結成、デヴィッド・ゲフィンのアサイラム・レコードと契約し、1972年にアルバム『イーグルス・ファースト』をリリース。アルバム中 自らがリードボーカルをとった"Tryin'"や"Take the Devil"の他、"Earlybird""Most of us are sad"などをバンドメンバーと共作。二作目の「デスペラード」では"Certain Kind of Fool"、"Saturday Night"作曲にかかわりこれを歌っている。 イーグルス三作目のアルバム「オン・ザ・ボーダー」には "Is it true?" を書いて"Midnight Flyer" 同様リードボーカルをとる。また、イーグルスの人気と知名度を桁違いのものにしたという4作目の「呪われた夜」では自身が主に作曲し歌った "Take it to the limit"がイーグルス初のミリオンセラー・シングルとなる。イーグルスのギタリストであるドン・フェルダーとの共作 "Too Many Hands" もこのアルバムに収められている。 イーグルスには1976年の『ホテル・カリフォルニア』の制作と77年のツアーまでメンバーとして参加、自身の手による "Try and Love Again"を歌う。しかし、この曲がイーグルスとして公に演奏されることはなかった。結成当初は民主的だったバンド内で、ヘンリー、フライが徐々に専制的な態度を見せるようになったこと、ジョー・ウォルシュが加入し、バンドのサウンドがよりロック寄りになったこと、ビッグ・グループの一員としての多忙な生活に疲れたことなどが重なり、1977年9月にイーグルスを脱退する。後任には、ポコでもマイズナーの後任を務めたティモシー・B・シュミットが加入。私生活でもイーグルス脱退以前からライブツアーによる不在などにより結婚生活は破たんへ向かい、1980年に正式に離婚する。 その後はソロ・アーティストとして "Randy Meisner" (1978)、"One More Song" (1980)、"Randy Meisner" (1982) をリリース。2作目のアルバムタイトル曲 "One More Song" にはイーグルスのメンバー、グレン・フライとドン・ヘンリーがバックコーラスで参加している。またセッション・プレイヤーとしてジェームス・テイラー、ジョー・ウォルシュ、ダン・フォーゲルバーグ、ボブ・ウェルチ、リッチー・フューレイ、リチャード・マークスらのレコーディング、ライブに参加したほか、元ファイアフォールのリック・ロバーツとともにロバーツ-マイズナー・バンドでも活動。

One of the most important is called noisy group testing, and deals with a big assumption of the original problem: that testing is error-free. A group-testing problem is called noisy when there is some chance that the result of a group test is erroneous (e.g. comes out positive when the test contained no defectives). The Bernoulli noise model assumes this probability is some constant, q {\displaystyle q} , but in general it can depend on the true number of defectives in the test and the number of items tested. For example, the effect of dilution can be modelled by saying a positive result is more likely when there are more defectives (or more defectives as a fraction of the number tested), present in the test. A noisy algorithm will always have a non-zero probability of making an error (that is, mislabeling an item). Group testing can be extended by considering scenarios in which there are more than two possible outcomes of a test. For example, a test may have the outcomes 0 , 1 {\displaystyle 0,1} and 2 + {\displaystyle 2^{+}} , corresponding to there being no defectives, a single defective, or an unknown number of defectives larger than one. More generally, it is possible to consider the outcome-set of a test to be 0 , 1 , ... , k + {\displaystyle {0,1,\ldots ,k^{+}}} for some k ∈ N {\displaystyle k\in \mathbb {N} } . Another extension is to consider geometric restrictions on which sets can be tested. The above lightbulb problem is an example of this kind of restriction: only bulbs that appear consecutively can be tested. Similarly, the items may be arranged in a circle, or in general, a net, where the tests are available paths on the graph. Another kind of geometric restriction would be on the maximum number of items that can be tested in a group, or the group sizes might have to be even and so on. In a similar way, it may be useful to consider the restriction that any given item can only appear in a certain number of tests. 文章: Limit Break 全作詞:SAKI 文章: グループテスト The generality of the theory of group testing lends it to many diverse applications, including clone screening, locating electrical shorts; high speed computer networks; medical examination, quantity searching, statistics; machine learning, DNA sequencing; cryptography; and data forensics. This section provides a brief overview of a small selection of these applications. A multiaccess channel is a communication channel that connects many users at once. Every user can listen and transmit on the channel, but if more than one user transmits at the same time, the signals collide, and are reduced to unintelligible noise. Multiaccess channels are important for various real-world applications, notably wireless computer networks and phone networks. A prominent problem with multiaccess channels is how to assign transmission times to the users so that their messages do not collide. A simple method is to give each user their own time slot in which to transmit, requiring n {\displaystyle n} slots. (This is called time division multiplexing, or TDM.) However, this is very inefficient, since it will assign transmission slots to users that may not have a message, and it is usually assumed that only a few users will want to transmit at any given time otherwise a multiaccess channel is not practical in the first place. 文章: 防諜 The stake-out has a far better chance of success in areas like Africa, where intelligence exploitation of local resources is far less intensive than in Europe, where persons with valuable access are likely to have been approached repeatedly by recruiting services during the postwar years. A triple agent can be a double agent that decides his true loyalty is to his original service, or could always have been loyal to his service but is part of an active provocation of your service. If managing a double agent is hard, agents that turned again (i.e., tripled) or another time after that are far more difficult, but in some rare cases, worthwhile. Any service B controlling, or believing it controls, a double agent, must constantly evaluate the information that agent is providing on service A. While service A may have been willing to sacrifice meaningful information, or even other human assets, to help an intended penetration agent establish his bona fides, at some point, service A may start providing useless or misleading information as part of the goal of service A. In the World War II Double Cross System, another way the British controllers (i.e., service B in this example) kept the Nazis believing in their agent, was that the British let true information flow, but too late for the Germans to act on it. The double agent might send information indicating that a lucrative target was in range of a German submarine, but, by the time the information reaches the Germans, they confirm the report was true because the ship is now docked in a safe port that would have been a logical destination on the course reported by the agent. While the Double Cross System actively handled the double agent, the information sent to the Germans was part of the overall Operation Bodyguard deception program of the London Controlling Section. Bodyguard was meant to convince the Germans that the Allies planned their main invasion at one of several places, none of which were Normandy. As long as the Germans found those deceptions credible, which they did, they reinforced the other locations. Even when the large landings came at Normandy, deception operations continued, convincing the Germans that Operation Neptune at Normandy was a feint, so that they held back their strategic reserves. By the time it became apparent that Normandy was indeed the main invasions, the strategic reserves had been under heavy air attack, and the lodgment was sufficiently strong that the reduced reserves could not push it back. 文章: 時の娘 この作品が出版された際に、アントニー・バウチャーはこの作品を「推理小説分野において、永く古典とされる作品。今年最も優れた作品ではなく、時を越えて優れた作品の一つ(one of the permanent classics in the detective field.... one of the best, not of the year, but of all time)」と讃えた。また Dorothy B. Hughesは「今年の最も重要な作品の一つというだけでなく、ミステリー史上に残る作品(not only one of the most important mysteries of the year, but of all years of mystery)」と評している。この小説は、英国推理作家協会が1990年に発表した「史上最高の推理小説100冊」の第一位に選ばれた。 ウィンストン・チャーチルはその著作 History of the English-Speaking Peoples(1956 58年)の中で、リチャードが塔の王子たちを殺害したと信じているとしながら「歴史に関する論争を提起する独創的な書籍が多く出ている(It will take many ingenious books to raise the issue to the dignity of a historical controversy)」と述べている。Alan Lascelles卿は、チャーチルとこの本について議論したことを書き残しており、おそらくはその7年前に出版されたテイのこの小説が念頭に置かれている。 2012年にPeter Hitchensは、『時の娘』について「これまで書かれてきた中で最も重要な本の一つ(one of the most important books ever written)」と評している。 文章: UNLIMITED FIRE UNLIMITED FIRE(アンリミテッド・ファイアー) 美郷あきの楽曲。本稿で記述。 TAG(田口康裕)の楽曲。DJ YOSHITAKA(西村宜隆)によるTry to sing ver.もある。 『UNLIMITED FIRE』は、2005年8月24日にLantisから発売された美郷あきの3作目のシングル。 文章: 光の片道速度 ε can have values between 0 and 1. It was shown that this scheme can be used for observationally equivalent reformulations of the Lorentz transformation, see Generalizations of Lorentz transformations with anisotropic one-way speeds. As required by the experimentally proven equivalence between Einstein synchronization and slow clock-transport synchronization, which requires knowledge of time dilation of moving clocks, the same non-standard synchronisations must also affect time dilation. It was indeed pointed out that time dilation of moving clocks depends on the convention for the one-way velocities used in its formula. That is, time dilation can be measured by synchronizing two stationary clocks A and B, and then the readings of a moving clock C are compared with them. Changing the convention of synchronization for A and B makes the value for time dilation (like the one-way speed of light) directional dependent. The same conventionality also applies to the influence of time dilation on the Doppler effect. Only when time dilation is measured on closed paths, it is not conventional and can unequivocally be measured like the two-way speed of light. Time dilation on closed paths was measured in the HafeleKeating experiment and in experiments on the Time dilation of moving particles such as Bailey et al. (1977). Thus the so-called twin paradox occurs in all transformations preserving the constancy of the two-way speed of light. 文章: トニー・オリバー 1998年 2009年 1997年 文章: 光の片道速度 Another test theory is the Standard-Model Extension (SME). It employs a broad variety of coefficients indicating Lorentz symmetry violations in special relativity, general relativity, and the Standard Model. Some of those parameters indicate anisotropies of the two-way and one-way speed of light. However, it was pointed out that such variations in the speed of light can be removed by suitable redefinitions of the coordinates and fields employed. Though this doesn't remove Lorentz violations per se, it only shifts their appearance from the photon sector into the matter sector of SME (see above Experiments on two-way and one-way speeds using the Standard-Model Extension. Before 1887 it was generally believed that light travelled as a wave at a constant speed relative to the hypothesised medium of the aether. For an observer in motion with respect to the aether, this would result in slightly different two-way speeds of light in different directions. In 1887, the MichelsonMorley experiment showed that the two-way speed of light was constant regardless of direction or motion through the aether. At the time, the obvious explanation for this effect was that objects in motion through the aether experience the combined effects of time dilation and length contraction in the direction of motion. A preferred reference frame is a reference frame in which the laws of physics take on a special form. The ability to make measurements which show the one-way speed of light to be different from its two-way speed would, in principle, enable a preferred reference frame to be determined. This would be the reference frame in which the two-way speed of light was equal to the one-way speed. 文章: 防諜 A service discovering an adversary agent may offer him employment as a double. His agreement, obtained under open or implied duress, is unlikely, however, to be accompanied by a genuine switch of loyalties. The so-called redoubled agent whose duplicity in doubling for another service has been detected by his original sponsor and who has been persuaded to reverse his affections again also belongs to this dubious class. Many detected and doubled agents degenerate into what are sometimes called "piston agents" or "mailmen," who change their attitudes with their visas as they shunt from side to side. Operations based on them are little more than unauthorized liaison with the enemy, and usually time-wasting exercises in futility. A notable exception is the detected and unwillingly doubled agent who is relieved to be found out in his enforced service to the adversary. There can be active and passive provocation agents. A double agent may serve as a means through which a provocation can be mounted against a person, an organization, an intelligence or security service, or any affiliated group to induce action to its own disadvantage. The provocation might be aimed at identifying members of the other service, at diverting it to less important objectives, at tying up or wasting its assets and facilities, at sowing dissension within its ranks, at inserting false data into its files to mislead it, at building up in it a tainted file for a specific purpose, at forcing it to surface an activity it wanted to keep hidden, or at bringing public discredit on it, making it look like an organization of idiots. The Soviets and some of the Satellite services, the Poles in particular, are extremely adept in the art of conspiratorial provocation. All kinds of mechanisms have been used to mount provocation operations; the double agent is only one of them. 文章: 抗体依存性感染増強 The most widely known example of ADE occurs in the setting of infection with dengue virus, a single-stranded positive-polarity RNA virus of the family Flaviviridae. It causes a disease of varying severity in humans, from dengue fever (DF), which is usually self-limited, to dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome, either of which may be life-threatening. It is estimated that as many as 390 million individuals are infected with dengue virus annually. The phenomenon of ADE may be observed when a person who has previously been infected with one serotype of the dengue virus becomes infected months or years later with a different serotype. In such cases, the clinical course of the disease is more severe, and these people have higher viremia compared with those in whom ADE has not occurred. This explains the observation that while primary (first) infections cause mostly minor disease (dengue fever) in children, secondary infection (re-infection at a later date) is more likely to be associated with dengue hemorrhagic fever and/or dengue shock syndrome in both children and adults. There are four antigenically different serotypes of dengue virus (dengue virus 14). In 2013 a fifth serotype was reported. Infection with dengue virus induces the production of neutralizing homotypic immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies which provide lifelong immunity against the infecting serotype. Infection with dengue virus also produces some degree of cross-protective immunity against the other three serotypes. Neutralizing heterotypic (cross-reactive) IgG antibodies are responsible for this cross-protective immunity, which typically persists for a period of several months to a few years. These heterotypic antibody titers decrease over long time periods (4 to 20 years). While heterotypic IgG antibody titers decrease, homotypic IgG antibody titers increase over long time periods. This could be due to the preferential survival of long-lived memory B cells producing homotypic antibodies. 文章: ニューオーリンズの斧男 They have never caught me and they never will. They have never seen me, for I am invisible, even as the ether that surrounds your earth. I am not a human being, but a spirit and a demon from the hottest hell. I am what you Orleanians and your foolish police call the Axeman. When I see fit, I shall come and claim other victims. I alone know whom they shall be. I shall leave no clue except my bloody axe, besmeared with blood and brains of he whom I have sent below to keep me company. If you wish you may tell the police to be careful not to rile me. Of course, I am a reasonable spirit. I take no offense at the way they have conducted their investigations in the past. In fact, they have been so utterly stupid as to not only amuse me, but His Satanic Majesty, Francis Josef, etc. But tell them to beware. Let them not try to discover what I am, for it were better that they were never born than to incur the wrath of the Axeman. I don't think there is any need of such a warning, for I feel sure the police will always dodge me, as they have in the past. They are wise and know how to keep away from all harm. Undoubtedly, you Orleanians think of me as a most horrible murderer, which I am, but I could be much worse if I wanted to. If I wished, I could pay a visit to your city every night. At will I could slay thousands of your best citizens (and the worst), for I am in close relationship with the Angel of Death. Now, to be exact, at 12:15 (earthly time) on next Tuesday night, I am going to pass over New Orleans. In my infinite mercy, I am going to make a little proposition to you people. Here it is: I am very fond of jazz music, and I swear by all the devils in the nether regions that every person shall be spared in whose home a jazz band is in full swing at the time I have just mentioned. If everyone has a jazz band going, well, then, so much the better for you people. One thing is certain and that is that some of your people who do not jazz it out on that specific Tuesday night (if there be any) will get the axe. Well, as I am cold and crave the warmth of my native Tartarus, and it is about time I leave your earthly home, I will cease my discourse. Hoping that thou wilt publish this, that it may go well with thee, I have been, am and will be the worst spirit that ever existed either in fact or realm of fancy. --The Axeman
