[SEP] Text: These games are a great option for those who want to enjoy the thrill of online gambling but don’t have the budget to visit a brick-and-mortar establishment. 09/07/2024 by admin1989 What is Gambling? Gambling is an activity in which a person risks something of value on an event that relies on chance, with the intention of winning a prize. It has existed in virtually every society since prerecorded history and is a part of many local customs and rites of passage. In addition to its role in local culture, gambling also contributes to economic development. It provides jobs and boosts consumer spending. It also benefits communities that are strategically positioned to draw tourists through gambling. Gamblers choose to gamble for different reasons. Some do it for fun; others enjoy the feeling of euphoria that comes from winning. The reason for this is that gambling stimulates the brain’s reward system. This reward system is activated by dopamine, a neurotransmitter that makes us feel good. It is released during gambling as a result of the anticipation of a potential win and even when you lose. Regulatory bodies ensure the safety of gambling establishments, and they also implement measures to prevent problem gambling. This includes providing resources for addiction treatment, and encouraging gamblers to participate in a wide range of other recreational activities. Gambling also helps to build socialization among people, as it is a form of entertainment and an opportunity for them to meet friends and relatives in a friendly setting. In fact, some groups of people organize trips to casinos and have a great time together. Some people become addicted to gambling because of the euphoria and the sense of accomplishment that come from winning. However, the reality is that most people don’t get rich from gambling and they have a much higher risk of losing their money than winning it. They may also find themselves in debt and needing to borrow more money in order to continue to gamble. These are signs of a serious problem. While there are a few things that can help you manage your gambling habits, the most important thing is to avoid doing it altogether. If you have a problem with gambling, it’s best to seek help from a therapist or support group. Also, it’s a good idea to keep a journal of your gambling habits and the times when you are most likely to gamble. It will help you identify patterns and trends that you can use to change your behavior.

Input: Claim: The Moon affects tides on Earth due to gravitational pull. [SEP] Text: 13 m/yr2 t2 sin(mean anomaly) perturbation in radius, where the time t in years is zero at the epoch when the perturbation starts to accumulate. The oscillating t2 term in radius is much stronger than the linear t term from the semimajor axis for times of years to decades. By only considering the increasing semimajor axis, [1] incorrectly assumed that LLR data analysis would mistake any constant rate in radius for a tidal perturbation. The perturbation in orbital radius from the DE430 tidal eccentricity rate is approximately −0. 005 m/yr t cos(mean anomaly), distinct from either a linear increase or a t2 sin(mean anomaly). The foregoing expressions are for illustration; the LLR programs use an integrated orbit. The moon’s evolving orbit and the earth’s decelerating spinThe lunar anomaly paper [1] offered three types of evidence in support of a slower semimajor axis rate: geological evidence from a rhythmite, ocean model calculations of tides, and nontidal acceleration of the Earth’s rotation. RhythmitesTidal rhythmites preserve geological layering from ancient tides, and they may allow the past evolution of the Moon to be unraveled. Modulation of the layers may permit the number of days per month, days per year, or months per year to be determined after identifying the cause of each periodicity. The lunar anomaly paper [1] selected the 310 million year old Mansfield sediment to derive a 2. 9 ± 0. 6 cm/yr average lunar recession rate over the 310 million year interval. A review of tidal rhythmites and related structures is presented by Coughenur et al. [15]. This review gives a 2. 17 ± 0. 31 cm/yr average recession rate for the 620 million year old Reynella Siltstone, a member of the Elatina Formation. We accept the idea that the past rate of lunar recession was lower than the present value for extended spans of time, but we do not accept the practice of using a past rate to replace or assess the accuracy of the current rate. Most of the tidal dissipation that causes the recession of the Moon occurs in the oceans. The pattern of each tidal component is complicated; see Coughenur et al. [15] and Poliakow [16] for examples.

Input: Claim: Bats are blind and rely solely on echolocation to navigate their environment. [SEP] Text: Together with my postdoc advisor I watched video clips about remarkable people like nicknamed Human Bats. are blind and exceptionally skilled at echolocation to the degree that they go mountain biking or can tell what objects are without touching them. They also teach others (Fig. 1). This was when I started working on human echolocation. Today in my lab we investigate human echolocation as a topic in its own right, and use it to understand how the human brain adapts to learning new skills. Figure 1. Photograph of teaching echolocation to a child who is blind. Echolocation works well together with other mobility methods, for example the long cane. Credit: for the Blind. How do humans use echolocation and how does this differ from other animals? Bats and dolphins are well known for their ability to use echolocation. They emit bursts of sounds and listen to the echoes that bounce back to perceive their environment. Human echolocation uses the same technique. It relies on an initial audible emission, and subsequent reflection of sound from the environment. When people echolocate, they make audible emissions like mouth clicks, finger snaps, whistling, cane taps, or footsteps. These are all in the audible spectrum, as opposed to the ultrasound emissions that bats or dolphins use. Even though every person, blind or sighted, can learn how to echolocate, to date the most skilled human echolocators are blind (Kolarik et al. , 2014; 2021). The emissions that proficient echolocators prefer to use are mouth clicks. In our work we have measured thousands of these clicks (see Fig. 2), and have found that they are very brief (~5 ms), and that the beam of sound spreads out in a way that I like to refer to as a “beam of an acoustic flashlight” (Thaler et al. , 2017) (see Fig. 3). We have also found that people adjust clicks dynamically. For example, people will make more clicks or louder clicks when the echo is comparably weaker (Thaler et al. , 2018) or to compensate for interfering noises (Castillo-Serrano et al. , 2020). This dynamic nature is likely to be important when using echolocation out and about. We also use motion capture to investigate how echolocation is related to body movement, for example during walking.

[SEP] Text: While gambling is a great way to pass time and socialize with friends, it can have serious consequences on your health and wellbeing. The best way to overcome a gambling problem is to find healthier ways to relieve unpleasant emotions or boredom, such as exercising, spending time with friends who don’t gamble, or trying out new hobbies. You should never try to recoup your losses by betting more money; this is known as “chasing” your losses and is a sure sign of a gambling addiction. In some cases, a gambling addiction can have a negative impact on family relationships, career, physical and mental health, and personal finances. 08/07/2024 by admin1989 Online: Akun Demo, Pragmatic Play, dan Dalam dunia perjudian online, permainan slot telah menjadi salah satu favorit para pemain.

Input: Claim: The Moon affects tides on Earth due to gravitational pull. [SEP] Text: Each tidal component has an individual period, and for each the pattern of local tide heights and phases depends on location. The combination of tidal components also depends on location, a complication for the analysis of rhythmites. The pattern for each tidal component can be combined into a global series of spherical harmonic functions. In a global sense, energy dissipation causes each tidal component to shift orientation with respect to the Moon’s attraction. This phase-shifted part of each tidal component causes lunar tidal acceleration, semimajor axis rate, and eccentricity rate. Plate motion changes the shapes and locations of the oceans, and this causes substantial variations in the tidal acceleration over ~108 yr time scales [16]. Although the tidal acceleration varies over these long time scales, the Moon continues to move outward. Tide modelsPoliakow [16] computed the past evolution of one tidal component, M2, the largest semidiurnal component. The M2 tidal component contributes ~80% of the current total tidal acceleration. Although the M2 tide does not cause the total recession rate, the lunar anomaly paper [1] cites the M2 calculation of a current +29 mm/yr contribution [16] as though the M2 rate was the total recession rate. For comparison, the DE430 lunar ephemeris has a 31 mm/yr recession rate caused by the M2 component. Other DE430 rates are +33. 5 mm/yr from all semidiurnal tides, +5. 1 mm/yr from all diurnal tides, and −0. 5 mm/yr from zonal tides on the Earth and tides on the Moon [11]. Although [1] cites Poliakow [16] for support for a 29 mm/yr recession rate, it contradicts his calculations for large variation in the past M2-caused rate by saying “For the Moon’s recession to vary so greatly, tidal heights would have to increase enormously over time. ” In addition to contradicting the cited paper, this statement seems to confuse the roles of local tide heights that influence rhythmites and phase-shifted components of global tides that cause the lunar recession rate. Any claim of steady tide heights based on rhythmites must be viewed with skepticism. Over 108 yr time scales, the oceans changed shape due to plate motion, which affected tides.

Input: Claim: Bats are blind and rely solely on echolocation to navigate their environment. [SEP] Text: The motion capture technology we use is the same used to create CGI movies such as Avatar or Express. Reflective markers are placed on a person’s body, and movements of these markers are captured with special cameras (see Fig. 4). Using this technology, we found that echolocation can support walking in a similar way to vision (Thaler et al. , 2020). We found that people who are blind and who have experience using echolocation walk just as fast as people using vision. They also have walking paths that are very similar to sighted people using vision, for example when navigating around obstacles. Figure 2. Photograph of the setup used to make recordings of echolocation mouth clicks. Recordings are made in rooms that are insulated against outside noise, and the walls, ceilings and floors of which are covered in special foam. Thin metal poles covered with cotton wool are used to hold microphones, and another metal pole is provided for positional guidance for the person making mouth clicks. During recordings only the person making clicks is inside the room. The experimenter controls the equipment from outside the room. Credit: Understanding brain activity related to echoes We are also interested in the brain basis for echolocation in people. Neuroimaging methods such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) are suitable for investigating this. One of the problems we face when using fMRI to investigate echolocation is the scanner is a very confined space, with not enough room to actually echolocate. In fact, during scanning, the participant lies inside a narrow tube that is only 60 cm in diameter, and the inside of that tube is about 10 cm from your eyes or mouth, so really very close. This can be overcome by using “virtual” echo acoustic spaces. In my lab we make use of passive listening scenarios. To do this, we first make recordings inside the ears of a participant whilst they are echolocating scenarios outside of the scanner. Subsequently, inside the scanner, these scenarios are recreated by playing the recordings back using special in-ear headphones. Other labs have overcome this issue by recording the clicks that people make inside the scanner, and then processing them to create a virtual scene, which is played back to the participant via headphones. The advantage of this technique is that the participant can make their own emissions during scanning.

Input: Claim: The Moon affects tides on Earth due to gravitational pull. [SEP] Text: Short-term effects can include ocean and atmospheric mass redistribution, elastic response to changing loads, and a tide that changes the moment of inertia with an 18. 6-yr period. A recent Cheng et al. [22] analysis finds a negative J2 rate from 1976 to ~1995 that agrees with Yoder et al. [21], but the rate subsequently decreases, possibly due to (short-term) modern global warming and the resulting redistribution of water mass. Stephenson and Morrison [20] analyzed Earth rotation over 2700 yr, so long-term changes apply. The initial determination of dJ2/dt led [21] to an explanation for the nontidal acceleration of the Earth’s rotation. The negative dC/dt was interpreted to be from viscous rebound of the Earth following deglaciation near the end of the last ice age ~104 yr ago. The weight of glaciers depressed the surface of the Earth under the polar ice during the ice ages, and after melting removed that weight the Earth’s surface started rebounding upward. Viscous rebound is slow lasting thousands of years and continuing today. The slow shape change from viscous rebound causes a nontidal acceleration of Earth rotation with a sign opposite to that of tidal deceleration. Over the longer ~105 yr time scale of ice age cycles, the nontidal acceleration changes sign and is not truly secular. The past decrease of J2 has been detected, and the directly linked nontidal acceleration of rotation applies to historical data. explanations, the lunar anomaly paper [1] attempts to mention and discount the viscous rebound explanation, but the statements there are confusing. The viscous rebound of the Earth has an exponential relaxation time of several thousand years; large-scale deglaciation is only required near the end of the last (quaternary) ice age ~10–15 thousand years ago, so extensive deglaciation is not required for historical times. Nontidal acceleration of Earth rotation does not change tidal friction, but it complicates any use of the deceleration of Earth rotation to infer lunar tidal recession, which [1] attempts. Testing whether the speed of light decreasesThe lunar anomaly paper [1] proposes that the speed of light c is slowing with time. Although a slowing speed of light would cause an increase in the apparent lunar distance, it would not change the tidal acceleration in orbital longitude, already conflicting with the observational results given earlier.

Input: Claim: Bats are blind and rely solely on echolocation to navigate their environment. [SEP] Text: All blind participants in this study were independent travellers, and had mobility skills (See Fig. 6) before taking part in the study (e. g. long cane or guide-dog users). Thus, any benefits of click-based echolocation we observed were in addition to those preexisting skills. The results from this work suggest that echolocation might be a useful skill for people who are blind, and that even 10 weeks training can lead to measurable benefits in terms of mobility, independence and wellbeing. The fact that the ability to learn click-based echolocation was not strongly limited by age or level of vision has positive implications for the rehabilitation of people with vision loss or in the early stages of progressive vision loss. Ongoing and future work in my lab will continue investigating issues relating to human echolocation and using echolocation as a paradigm to better understand the human brain and cognition. For example, we would like to use echolocation to learn more about the brain’s ability to adapt to change as a function of age. For example, how do children acquire echolocation skills, and how does this compare to adults and how is this related to sensory loss? Better understanding of such issues might also have potential applications for timing of rehabilitative interventions for children and young people. Figure 6. Echolocation users at Durham University.

Input: Claim: The Moon affects tides on Earth due to gravitational pull. [SEP] Text: EndnotesaThe tidal acceleration in mean anomaly and mean longitude are nearly the same. The tidal accelerations of the argument of perigee and node are smaller by two orders of magnitude. The practice of giving the acceleration in mean longitude is a convention from the days of optical observations of angles. bThe computation of dissipation-induced orbit and rotation changes from each global tidal component involves a ratio of Love number k2 divided by a specific dissipation Q for the component. Large values of k2/Q are referred to as more effective here. For a global representation of tides, although most of the phase-shifted tide comes from the oceans, the in-phase part comes mainly from solid-body tides. For the global M2 tide, LLR analysis has k2/Q ≈ 0. 32/13 with a phase shift of 4. 5˚. cThe orbital tidal acceleration is mainly sensitive to dissipation from tides raised by the Moon on the Earth, with a 1% effect from tides raised by the Earth on the Moon [11, 29]. However, the tidal deceleration of the Earth’s rotation is sensitive to tides raised on the Earth by both Moon and Sun. Also, the K1 tidal dissipation affects rotation, but not orbit. Consequently, although the larger part of the tidal deceleration of rotation is from tidal components that also affect the orbit, a tidal model is required for part of the rotation computation. This can be as simple as a constant phase shift, or as sophisticated as an ocean model such as [12, 13].

Input: Claim: Bats are blind and rely solely on echolocation to navigate their environment. [SEP] Text: Both were right-handed, had normal hearing and normal auditory source localization abilities (Figure S1; S1; for samples of sounds used during source localization listen to Sound S3 and Sound S4). Both EB and LB use echolocation on a daily basis, enabling them to explore cities during travelling and to hike, mountain bike or play basketball. Two non-echolocating, right-handed sighted males, C1 and C2, were run as sex and age-matched fMRI controls for EB and LB, respectively. There is evidence that blind people, even when they do not consciously echolocate, are more sensitive to echoes than sighted people [12]. This might pose a challenge when comparing the brain activation of blind echolocators with the brain activation of blind self-proclaimed non-echolocators. For this reason, we decided to use sighted self-proclaimed non-echolocators as control participants. The data show that the presence of echoes within a train of complex sounds increases BOLD signal in calcarine cortex in both EB and LB. This increase in activity in calcarine cortex is absent in C1 and C2. Importantly, the presence of echoes within a train of complex sounds does not lead to an increase in BOLD signal in auditory cortex in any of the four participants. This finding suggests that brain structures that process visual information in sighted people process echo information in blind echolocation experts. of the To overcome the difficulties posed by studying echolocation in an MRI environment (i. e. , hearing protection must be worn, head and mouth movements must be minimized, etc. ), a passive listening paradigm was adopted whereby the echolocation clicks and their echoes were pre-recorded in the listener's ears (Figure 1D) and then presented via fMRI compatible insert earphones (Figure 1E). To test the validity of this paradigm, a direct behavioral comparison between active echolocation and passive listening was conducted using an angular position discrimination task, in which EB and LB discriminated the angular position of a test pole with respect to straight ahead (Figure 1B). The results of this test are illustrated in Figure 1C.

Input: Claim: Horizontal gene transfer allows bacteria to acquire new traits. [SEP] Text: Mobile gambling is a growing market for casino developers, and players have a number of different options available to them. Some sites choose to create a mobile-optimized version of their website, while others develop a full-fledged app. The latter option offers greater control over the user experience, but it can be expensive and time-consuming to produce. The most important thing is to understand your audience and what kind of experience they want from your app. One study examined how participants interacted with a simulated gambling game on their smartphones. The game used a fixed rate of reinforcement on a variable ratio schedule, and was designed to encourage the behaviour of gambling addicts by rewarding near-misses and frequent wagers. The researchers tracked behavioural, location (GPS), and reward-related data on each interaction. The results suggest that mobile gaming may provide a unique environment for gambling, but that convergence with other types of online and offline play is likely to occur. Another concern with mobile gambling is the possibility that it might lead to gambling addiction. In addition to the monetary costs of this addiction, the psychological costs can be high as well. Gambling addiction has been linked to a number of mental health problems, including depression and anxiety. However, there are ways to prevent the onset of gambling addiction, such as setting limits on spending and keeping track of expenditures. In order to avoid addiction, it is important to set limits on how much money you are willing to spend and only play when you are in a safe environment. It is also a good idea to play only on trusted websites, and to avoid downloading gambling apps from untrusted sources. If you are unsure about whether an app is safe, it is best to contact customer support before downloading it. Whether you’re looking for a casino to play slots, roulette, blackjack, poker, baccarat, or other regulated gambling games, there are plenty of mobile casinos to choose from. Some casinos even offer exclusive bonuses for mobile users. These bonuses can be in the form of free spins, cashback, or deposit matches. The biggest advantage of mobile casinos is that they are accessible anywhere, with or without an internet connection. They offer a wide variety of games that are easy to download and use, and they have excellent visuals. In addition, many of them are available in US dollars, making them ideal for American gamblers. Some of the biggest casinos have apps for iOS, Android, and other mobile platforms.

From left to right: evidence for event horizons is incredibly challenging. “There is no way that a mortal observer can detect the event horizon,” says Daniel. “We may even live inside one. ” However, we can possibly detect the side-effects of an event horizon, related to the trapping of light. According to mathematics, when light travels close to a black hole, there will be a certain point where light on one side will keep on moving outwards, whereas light on the other side will be trapped and non-observable. This boundary is called the apparent horizon and is what defines a physical black hole (PBH) – one that is observable. “According to classical physics, the apparent horizon sits within the event horizon, so a PBH sits inside an MBH,” says Daniel.

Input: Claim: Bats are blind and rely solely on echolocation to navigate their environment. [SEP] Text: It is evident from the data that EB and LB can determine the angular position of the pole in both active and passive echolocation tasks (for samples of sounds used during angular position discrimination through passive listening listen to Sound S5 and Sound S6). For EB, thresholds are very low (approx. 3°) and performance in active and passive tasks is the same. Thus, EB can reliably distinguish a 3° difference in the position of the test pole away from straight ahead, even when listening only to recordings of echolocation sounds. For LB, thresholds are generally higher than for EB and performance in the active task (threshold approx. 9°) is better than in the passive task (threshold approx. 22°). With regard to bias, EB is unbiased (red line at zero), but LB tends to judge test locations to be to the left of the straight ahead (red line shifted to the right). This means, that LB's subjective straight ahead is shifted to the right. In summary, the data show that during active echolocation, both EB and LB resolved the angular position of a sound reflecting surface with high precision. This was expected based on what EB and LB do in everyday life. In addition, the data show that during passive listening, LB's precision was somewhat reduced, but EB's performance was unaffected, reflecting perhaps his greater experience with echolocation and/or the fact that he was blinded early in life. In any case, we felt confident that passive listening was a feasible paradigm to probe the neural substrates of echolocation in the scanner.

Input: Claim: Bats are blind and rely solely on echolocation to navigate their environment. [SEP] Text: To obtain stimuli that would elicit strong echolocation percepts, we recorded echolocation clicks and echoes from EB and LB outside of the MRI under three scenarios: i) as they sat in an anechoic chamber in front of a concave or flat surface that was placed 40 cm in front of them and 20° to the left or right (for examples of sounds used during the experiment listen to Sound S7 and Sound S8); ii) as they sat in an anechoic chamber in front of a concave surface placed 40 cm in front with either the head held stationary or the head moving (when recordings of the latter were played back to EB and LB, they described a percept of a surface in motion; for examples of sounds used during the experiment listen to Sound S9, Sound S10 and Sound S11); and iii) as they stood outdoors in front of a tree, or a car, or a lamp post. We also created control sounds for the outdoor recordings, which contained the same background sounds and clicks, but no click echoes. Thus, outdoor control sounds were yoked to the outdoor echolocation sounds, but they did not contain the click's echoes (for examples of sounds used during the experiment listen to Sound S12 and Sound S13). Behavioral testing demonstrated that, when presented with the recordings from the anechoic chamber, EB was able to determine the shape, movement and location of surfaces with near perfect accuracy, whereas LB was less accurate at the shape and movement task and in fact performed at chance levels on the localization task (Figure 1F). Finally, when presented with the outdoor echolocation recordings both EB and LB readily distinguished control sounds from echolocation sounds and they identified objects well above chance levels. In addition, both echolocators performed equally well when listening to outdoor recordings of the other person as compared to their own (Figure 1G). Control participants C1 and C2 had trained with the echolocation stimuli of EB and LB prior to testing. Both control participants performed at chance levels for shape and location classification, but well above chance for movement classification (Figure 1F). Upon questioning, both C1 and C2 stated that clicks in ‘moving’ stimuli had a slightly more regular rhythm (compare Sound S9 and Sound S10 to Sound S11).

Input: Claim: Black holes are regions where gravity is extremely strong. [SEP] Text: 1 IntroductionGravitational lensing by black holes is one of the most powerful astrophysical tools for investigating the strong-field features of gravity and provide us with information about the distant stars that are too dim to be observed. It can help us detect exotic objects and hence verify alternative theories of gravity. The gravitational lensing theories were developed, among others, by Liebes [1], Refsdal [2], and Bourassa and Kantowski [3]. They have successfully explained the astronomical observations but in the weak field approximation. However, when a lens is a compact object with a photon sphere (such as a black hole), a strong field treatment of gravitational lensing is needed instead because photons passing close to the photon sphere have large deflection angles. Virbhadra and Ellis [4] obtained the lens equation using an asymptotically flat background metric, in the strong-field limit for a Schwarzchild black hole numerically. Apart from the primary and secondary images, they reported two infinite sets of faint relativistic images. An exact lens equation without reference to a background metric was found by Fritelli et al. [5]. Later, Bozza [6] used the strong field limit approximation to obtain analytical expressions for the positions and magnification of the relativistic images and extended his method of lensing for a general class of static and spherically symmetric spacetimes to show that the logarithmic divergence of the deflection angle at photon sphere is a generic feature for such spacetimes. Bozza’s [6] methods was extended to several static, spherically symmetric metrics which includes Reissner–Nordström black holes [7], braneworld black holes [8,9,10,11], charged black hole of heterotic string theory [12]. The strong gravitational field continues to receive significant attention, more recent works include lensing from other black holes [13,14,15,16] and from various modifications of Schwarzschild geometry [17,18,19,20,21,22,23], and more recently in 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity [24,25,26]. The gravitational lensing by a primary photon sphere with unstable circular light orbits and by a secondary photon sphere on a wormhole throat in a black-bounce regular spacetime shows the existence of an antiphoton sphere and the formation of infinite images near it [27].

When C1 and C2 were presented with outdoor recordings they could distinguish echolocation sounds from control sounds, but they were unable to identify objects (Figure 1G). Upon questioning, C1 and C2 reported that echolocation and control stimuli sounded ‘somehow different’, but they could not pinpoint the nature of this difference (compare Sound S12 and Sound S13). Both C1 and C2 said that they had not perceived any objects in the recordings. For more detailed results, including sample sizes, see Table S1 and Table S2. Brain activation Cerebral Cortex. Functional MRI revealed reliable blood-oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) activity in auditory cortex as well as in the calcarine sulcus and surrounding regions of “visual” cortex in EB and LB when they listened to recordings of their echolocation clicks and echoes, as compared to silence (Figure 2, top). EB showed stronger activity in the calcarine cortex than did LB, which could reflect EB's much longer use of echolocation and/or his more reliable performance in passive echolocation tasks. Activity in calcarine cortex was entirely absent in C1 and C2 when they listened to the echolocation recordings of EB and LB, although both control subjects showed robust activity in auditory cortex (Figure 2, bottom). This pattern of results was expected based on previous experiments that have measured brain activation in blind and sighted people in response to auditory stimulation as compared to silence [13]–[15].

Lottery is a form of gambling in which numbers are drawn for prizes. Many states run lotteries, and the proceeds from them help to support public works and other charitable projects. In some cases, the proceeds are also used for tax reduction or other purposes. Lottery is a popular pastime for many people, and it can be addictive. People may even lose track of how much money they have won, leading to financial problems and other consequences. However, there are ways to control your lottery spending and avoid losing too much money. Several factors have contributed to the popularity of Lottery, including widening economic inequality and a new materialism that claims that anyone can become rich with sufficient effort or luck. Moreover, anti-tax movements have led politicians to seek out alternatives to raising taxes and to embrace Lottery as a way to get government funds without imposing burdens on the middle class or working class. As a result, the policies and practices of Lottery have evolved over time, often with little or no general oversight by state authorities. Although many of the arguments in favor of Lottery focus on its value as a source of “painless” revenue, there is also a strong psychological component to the appeal of the game. Lottery plays on a fundamental human urge to take risks and hope for the best. People who play the Lottery are often tempted by advertising that dangles the promise of instant riches, and they may feel that they have a small sliver of chance that they might win. The history of the Lottery goes back thousands of years.

Input: Claim: Black holes are regions where gravity is extremely strong. [SEP] Text: The gravitational lensing received a boost when Telescope (EHT) [28, 29] unravelled the first-ever image of the supermassive black hole M87*. These results offer testing grounds for gravity theories on offering a compelling probe of the strong gravitational fields. With this motivation, this paper investigates the strong-field gravitational lensing of light by the hairy black holes in Horndeski gravity [30]. As a modification to GR, the simplest extensions are the scalar–tensor theories like Horndeski gravity [31], probably the most general four-dimensional scalar–tensor theory with equations of motion containing up to second-order derivatives of the dynamical fields. Horndeski theory of gravitation is described by the action principle formulated from the metric and a scalar field that leads to field equations with no derivatives beyond second order for the metric and the scalar field, and the theory has the same symmetries as GR, namely, diffeomorphism and local Lorentz invariance. (see e. g. [32, 33]). All the terms present in the action of Horndeski gravity have been shown to be originating from Galileons, i. e. scalar–tensor models having Galilean symmetry in flat spacetime [34]. There are compelling arguments that suggest that certain modifications are required in GR at both very high and very low energy scales. Gravitational collapses are destined to unavoidable singularities, while on cosmological scales, to describe the observed accelerated expansion of the Universe, GR relies on the yet unexplained presence of dark energy [35]. Horndeski theories [36] which have been studied in both the strong gravity on compact objects, such as neutron stars, black holes [37] and in cosmological regimes to describe the accelerated expansion [38]. The space of solutions for Horndeski’s theory of gravity is endowed with hairy black holes [39,40,41,42,43,44], Among the static and spherically symmetric hairy black holes in scalar–tensor theories the simplest case in which solutions admits a hairy profile with a radially dependent scalar field was studied in [41, 45,46,47,48]. The time-dependent hairy black hole solutions within the Horndeski class of theories have also been obtained [49].

Both EB and LB show significant activity in regions adjacent and inferior to the ITS/LOS junction, that are typically involved in motion processing. Bottom Panel: BOLD activity in C1 and C2's brain related to recordings of echolocation sounds that convey movement to EB and LB. Even though C1 and C2 could reliably classify echolocation sounds as ‘moving’ or ‘stationary’, they reported to not perceive any sense of movement.

It is evident from the behavioural data, that EB and LB certainly perceived these conditions as different; so at some level, there must be a difference in neural activity. It is likely that the temporal and spatial resolution of our paradigm was not able to detect these differences. Cerebellum.

Input: Claim: Horizontal gene transfer allows bacteria to acquire new traits. [SEP] Text: It was a common practice in the ancient world to divide property, slaves, and other resources among a community by drawing lots. In the Old Testament, the Lord instructed Moses to take a census of Israel and distribute land by lot. In the Roman Empire, Lottery was a common entertainment at dinner parties, where hosts would draw lots for gifts such as slaves and valuable 21. This is a good option when the dealer has a weak card showing, such as a two or five. However, it is important to remember that the dealer may also double down, so you must be prepared for this. Another blackjack strategy that will help you win is knowing when to hit and when to stand. It is generally better to hit than to stand, unless you have a good reason for doing otherwise. Hitting is recommended when the dealer has a weak card, such as a three or six. In addition, if the dealer has an ace, it is usually best to hit. A good way to improve your odds of winning at blackjack is to learn how to count cards. This technique requires some prior training and practice, but can make a huge difference in your winnings. Counting cards is done by keeping track of the number of high cards dealt and the number of low cards. Players keep a running total of these numbers and divide it by the number of decks remaining in the shoe to obtain a true count. Some players also use a card-counting system called hi-lo, which is more complex than the running count method. This method is more accurate and takes into account the fact that some cards are dealt to more than one person. Keeping the count also requires the use of a calculator. It is a good idea to practice with a single deck of cards before you try counting in a casino. Counting cards in blackjack is much more difficult than it is in other games, such as poker or roulette, because there are many more cards that can be dealt to a single player. There are several side bets available in blackjack that change the odds of the game and the payout you receive. These bets include insurance, which pays 2-1 if the dealer has an ace up and you have blackjack. This is a great option to consider, but it is essential to remember that you will lose more hands pushing than you would if you simply got paid 1 to 1.

Input: Claim: Black holes are regions where gravity is extremely strong. [SEP] Text: In order to illustrate this assertion we shall consider Cygnus X-1, which is the most intensively studied black hole binary system in the Galaxy. A series of recent high-quality papers (Reid et al. 2011; Orosz et al. 2011; Gou et al. 2011) have provided an unprecedented set of accurate measurements of the distance, the black hole mass, spin parameter a, and the orbital inclination of this source. This opens the possibility to constrain modified theories of gravity with rather local precision observations of astrophysical objects in the Galaxy. Cygnus X-1 was discovered at X-rays by Bowyer et al. (1965). Early dynamical studies of the compact object suggested the presence of an accreting black hole (e. g. Bolton 1972). The distance to Cygnus X-1 is currently estimated to be 1. 86-0. 11+0. 12 kpc (Reid et al. 2011). This value was determined via trigonometric parallax using the (VLBA). At this distance, the mass of the black hole is (Orosz et al. 2011) M = 14. 8 M⊙. This is the value adopted in all calculations presented in the previous sections. The source has been observed in both a low-hard state, dominated by the emission of a hot corona (e. g. , Dove et al. 1997; Gierlinski et al. 1997; Poutanen 1998), and a high-soft state, dominated by the accretion disk, which in this state goes all the way down to the last stable orbit. In the low-hard state, where the source spends most of the time, a steady, non-thermal jet is observed (Stirling et al. 2001). The jet is absent in the thermal state. Therefore, in this latter state a clearer X-ray spectrum can be obtained. The accretion rate and the spin parameter of the hole are ~ 0. 472 × 1019 g s-1 and 0. 99, respectively, according to estimates from a Kerr plus black-body disk model (Gou et al. 2011). These GR models yield a spectral energy distribution with a maximum at Emax ~ 1. 6 keV.

Input: Claim: Bats are blind and rely solely on echolocation to navigate their environment. [SEP] Text: pole did not reveal significant differences DiscussionHere we show that two blind individuals can use echolocation to determine the shape, motion and location of objects with great accuracy, even when only listening passively to echolocation sounds that were recorded earlier. When these recordings were presented during fMRI scanning, we found that ‘visual’ cortex was strongly activated in one early blind participant (EB) and to a lesser degree in one late blind participant (LB). Most remarkably, the comparison of brain activity during sounds that contained echoes with brain activity during control sounds that did not contain echoes revealed echo related activity in calcarine, but not auditory cortex. The question arises if the activity that we observe in calcarine cortex is truly related to echolocation, or if it is simply due to the fact that EB and LB are blind. Blindness can result in re-organization of many brain areas, including but not limited to visual, auditory and somatosensory cortex and subcortical structures, even though the underlying mechanism and exact nature of the changes are still unclear [13]–[15], [27]–[32]. Based on the existing literature, therefore, it is not surprising to see activity in visual cortex in response to auditory stimuli in EB and LB. However, support for an interpretation of the activation in terms of echolocation, but not blindness per se, is provided by the outdoor scenes experiment, in which we see differential activation in calcarine cortex in EB and LB, but not in auditory cortex when echoes are present (or not) in the outdoor sounds (Figure 3). In this regard our data go beyond ‘classical’ cross-modal results that show co-activation of visual cortex and areas primarily sensitive to the stimulus (i. e. primary auditory or somatosensory cortex). In a related point, we want to emphasize that the differences in the level of activation in the visual areas of EB's and LB's brains could have arisen for a number of reasons. First, there might be differences in cortical development in the two individuals; after all, EB lost his sight much earlier than LB. Second, EB started using echolocation as a small child and has used it longer than LB. A consequence of this might be that EB creates a more vivid representation of the spatial scene from click-echoes.

It rewards actual skill unlike slots or the lottery, and it can be played at anytime from the comfort of your own home. But online poker isn’t for everyone, and it takes dedication to master the game. The best way to get better is to play often, but it’s also important to learn how to manage your bankroll and to understand the game’s rules. Many new players are confused about whether they’re supposed to call, fold or raise in different situations. To help with this, many poker sites offer a tool called “pot odds,” which shows how much you stand to win if you call a certain bet. This is a very useful tool for a new player because it allows them to make more accurate decisions in big pots. Another helpful tool is studying your opponents’ tells, which are the non-verbal cues that they give off to let you know what type of hand they have. Some of the most common tells are nervous talking, nail-biting and frequent glances. By watching your opponent, you can quickly determine if they have a strong hand or are bluffing. The most important trait to have when playing poker is a short memory. You’re going to have a lot of bad beats and coolers, but you can’t let them get you down. The key is to focus on improving your own game and remember why you started playing in the first place. Online poker is more volatile than live poker, so it’s more likely that you’ll experience larger swings. This is because you’re dealing with a greater number of hands, so the variance is higher. You can avoid these large swings by playing tight, managing your bankroll and learning the game’s strategies. Another important skill for winning at poker is understanding the math behind it. Without a solid grasp of poker odds and percentages, you’re unable to make the right decisions in a big pot. For example, knowing that your opponent has an 11 to 1 chance of making a straight on the river is a critical piece of information when deciding whether to call or fold.

Input: Claim: Bats are blind and rely solely on echolocation to navigate their environment. [SEP] Text: Third, EB performed better in the passive-listening paradigm than LB even though this difference was reduced for ‘outdoor’ sound recordings. But of course, any combination of all these factors could account for the differences in the activity in visual areas we observed in these two individuals. It would be useful in future neuroimaging studies of echolocation to include sighted people who have been trained to echolocate, or blind people who have a ‘regular’ sensitivity to echoes. With respect to the latter, there is evidence that blind people, even when they do not consciously echolocate, are more sensitive to echoes than sighted people [12], and this might pose a challenge when comparing the brain activation of self-proclaimed echolocators to the brain activation of self-proclaimed non-echolocators who are also blind. In any case, the comparison we draw here (i. e. between blind echolocators and sighted non-echolocators) is insightful, because it highlights the involvement of visual rather than auditory cortex in the processing of echoes. The patterns of activation observed in their brains might shed some light on the possible role that sensory deprivation plays in the recruitment of visual cortex during echolocation in the blind. On the behavioural level, of course, sighted people's echolocation abilities have been repeatedly shown to be inferior to those of blind people (for reviews see [1]–[3]). There are various reasons why this is the case. One possibility is that blind people use echolocation on a daily basis and therefore acquire a higher skill level through practice. Another possibility might be that blind people have better hearing abilities which may also make them better at echolocation, e. g. [33], [34]. Our current data suggest that hearing ability is not a variable, because both EB and LB performed within the normal range on standard hearing and source localization tests (Figure S1; S1). Furthermore, we also saw no obvious differences in activation in auditory cortex between EB and LB or between these two individuals and the control participants (Figure 2, Figure S3). It cannot be ruled out, however, that the tests and comparisons we used are not suitable for detecting the auditory abilities that may underlie superior echolocation performance.

This type of racing is popular in the United States, but is also a common form of betting in many other countries. The horses are ridden by jockeys or pulled by sulkies and drivers. There are several types of horse race, including flat races and steeplechases, which feature obstacles that the horses must jump over. Each race has a certain amount of prize money to be awarded to the winners. The sport of horse racing has a long and distinguished history, with archaeological evidence indicating that it was practiced in ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt, Babylon, Syria, and Arabia. It has also been an important part of legend, as in the contest between Odin’s steed Hrungnir and the giant Helga in Norse mythology. In addition to betting on the winning horse, bettors can also place a bet on the horse to come in either first, second or third place. Betting on a horse to win is the riskiest, while placing and show bets offer lower payoffs. Regardless of their popularity, horse races have some serious drawbacks. Horses are subject to intense physical stress and are often injured while training or in a race. Their bodies are not built for the stress, and injuries like fractures, torn ligaments, and severe lacerations are all too common. Many of these horses are then abandoned or sent to slaughter when their career is over. The few horse rescue organizations that exist struggle to find enough veterinary care and funds for the horses that are not adopted. It is common for horses to be euthanized after a fatal injury, as well as in cases of traumatic shock or overtraining. Despite the best efforts of trainers and veterinarians, some horses are simply too old or too injured to recover from the rigors of training and racing. In some cases, the euthanasia is deemed necessary to ensure the safety of other horses in the same stable. The problems with equine welfare in horse racing are both profound and systemic.

Por ejemplo, es cierto que ser pobre en salud repercute en tener que utilizar más recursos monetarios en medicinas y médicos para mantener a esta última.

It could be thought that in the digital and information age all human beings in the world would have access to better and greater opportunities, but that is not the reality because the purchasing power of mammon is threatened by the constant increase in prices. The paradox is that becoming poor is expensive because it means having fewer opportunities to access a better standard of living. What does it mean to have a good standard of living? Simple and plainly everything that allows satisfying the basic needs of the people. Is being poor strictly monetary? O Are there other issues that should also be considered as parameters to measure poverty levels? Are we not being impoverished in our health with the quality of the air we currently breathe?

Input: Claim: Bats are blind and rely solely on echolocation to navigate their environment. [SEP] Text: Finally, it is also possible that sighted individuals might simply be at a disadvantage in acquiring echolocation skills, because echolocation and vision compete for neural resources. Clearly, more investigations of human echolocation are needed on the behavioural, computational, and neural level, to uncover how echolocation works, how it is acquired and which neural processes are involved. It is important to emphasize that the use of echolocation in the blind goes well beyond localizing objects in the environment. The experts we studied were also able to use echolocation to perceive object shape and motion – and even object identity. In addition, they were able to use passive listening with 10-kHz cut-off to do these kinds of tasks – which made it possible for us to probe neural substrates of their abilities. Clearly more work is needed comparing performance with active and passive echolocation across a range of different tasks – where the available frequency ranges in both conditions are systematically varied. It could be argued that the contralateral bias that we observed in EB's calcarine cortex reflects differences in spatial attention between the two conditions. Effects of attention on brain activity have been shown for visual [35], as well as other cortical areas, including auditory cortices, e. g. [17], [36]. Thus, although we cannot rule out this explanation, it would still be remarkable that EB, who lost his eyes when he was 13 months of age, would show attentional modulation of the calcarine cortex, but not the auditory cortex – and would do this in a contralateral fashion. Both EB and LB show BOLD activity in temporal cortical regions typically devoted to motion processing, but this activity is absent in C1 and C2. In a similar fashion, both EB and LB reported to perceive motion, but this percept was absent in C1 and C2. Thus, we see good correspondence in terms of brain activity and perception. The question remains, however, as to what the ‘preferred modality’ of the neurons is that are active in EB and LB when they perceive motion using echolocation. Neurons adjacent and inferior to the ITS/LOS junction are sensitive to both visual and auditory motion as determined with functional localization techniques [37]. Sighted individuals typically show a modality specific cortical organization, such that neurons that are sensitive to visual motion (i. e.

Input: Claim: Trade agreements can lead to economic growth between countries. [SEP] Text: The saving of each regional household is allocated to domestic and foreign investment, on the assumption that the shares of domestic and foreign investments are held constant, subject to adding up constraints to balance regional accounts. The model does not attempt to capture real financial sector dynamics. GDyn has been shown to be able to realistically capture dynamics in several ways (Ianchovichina et al. 2014). Footnote 2 Furthermore, GDyn model captures the capital mobility due to specific policy shocks, by different channels; firstly, the changes in fundamentals of these economies owing to cost reduction facilitated by trade can help allocate investment more or less in a region depending on the extent to which it has become competitive and investment-friendly; secondly, there are direct shifting levers that can shock the extent of policy facilitation that can encourage investment. 3. 2 Baseline projectionFor the purposes of our study, we run the model on the GTAP 8. 1 database, documented in Narayanan et al. (2012), with 2007 as the base year. We work with 22 countries/regions and 32 sectors, aggregated from 134 countries/regions and 57 sectors available in the GTAP database. Table 1 sets out the regions/sector aggregations. Table 1 List of regions and sectorsFull size table We project the database to 2030 drawing on historical data for GDP, population and labour supply for the period to 2015 and on long-run projections from Chappius and Walmsley (2011) for the period to 2030. These long-run projections are derived from Foure et al. (2010), from the projections for 128 countries to 2050, based on a three-factor production function (capital, labour and energy), accounting for the energy constraint through dynamic modelling of energy productivity, and applying a Feldstein–Horioka-type relationship between savings and investment rates. A baseline assumption is that the supply of factors other than capital and labour is exogenous. Capital supply in the model is determined by the savings–investment module while labour supply, for both skilled and unskilled labours, adjusts to keep the real factor price of labour fixed. In other words, this is a labour-unconstrained baseline, wherein there is unlimited supply of labour to draw from, for economic growth implied by the GDP baseline. Another assumption is that the recently concluded (TFA) is fully implemented by all countries.

Input: Claim: Bats are blind and rely solely on echolocation to navigate their environment. [SEP] Text: area MT+) are located adjacent but posterior to neurons that are sensitive to auditory motion [37]. In contrast, individuals who regained vision at a later point in their life (i. e. late onset sight recovery) show cortical organization that is not modality specific, such that visual and auditory motion areas largely overlap [37]. Finally, neurons in and around visual motion area MT+ may also respond to tactile motion, even though it remains to be determined to what degree this activity is potentially mediated by visual imagery [38]–[40]. Future research is needed to investigate how neurons that are active during echolocation motion correspond to visual motion area MT+ in sighted people. An obvious question that arises from our findings is what function calcarine cortex might serve during echolocation. One possibility is that it is involved in the comparison between outgoing source sound (e. g. mouth click) and incoming echo. This explanation seems unlikely, however, because if the calcarine computed a comparison between outgoing source sound and incoming echo, it would also compute that comparison in the absence of echoes. If that were the case, however, we would expect the calcarine to be equally active in the presence and the absence of echoes – provided the corresponding clicks were present. The pattern of activity we found in EB and LB does not support this interpretation (Figure 3). An alternative, and perhaps more plausible, explanation is that calcarine cortex performs some sort of spatial computation that uses input from the processing of echolocation sounds that was carried out elsewhere, most likely in brain areas devoted to auditory processing. In this case, one would expect calcarine cortex to be more active in the presence than in the absence of echoes, because the trains of sounds with echoes contain more spatial information than those without echoes. The activity patterns we found in EB and LB would certainly support this interpretation (Figure 3). We are not the first to propose that visual cortex could potentially subserve ‘supra-modal’ spatial functions after loss of visual sensory input [41]. Recently, a similar supra-modal spatial function has also been suggested for certain parts of auditory cortex after loss of auditory sensory input [42]. Again, future research is needed to determine exactly how activity in calcarine cortex mediates echolocation. The cerebellar structures linked to visual sensory processing [25] also appear to play a role in echolocation in the blind.

Input: Claim: Trade agreements can lead to economic growth between countries. [SEP] Text: This assumption is implemented by removing all tariff equivalents of time as a barrier to trade, as estimated by Minor and Hummels (2011), by 2015. This reduces the goods sector Non-(NTBs) in the baseline, hence reducing the scope for the TPP/TTIP to boost additional trade. Table 2 summarizes the baseline assumptions employed. Almost all low-income countries are expected to grow faster in terms of GDP than the developed economies. For instance, India is expected to grow faster in terms of population and labour force. We note that there is a visible shift towards skilled labour and away from unskilled labour in many countries in the world; this comes from the IIASA baseline for labour force, which takes into account global trend towards improved educational and human capital attainment that would lead to increased availability of skilled labour force. Table 2 Baseline projections (2015–2030: Annualized)Full size table 3. 3 ClosuresUnder the GTAP model’s default microeconomic closure, factor endowments (i. e. the total supply of labour, both skilled and unskilled, as well as of capital and land) are fixed and factor prices adjust to restore full employment of the factors of production in the post-shock equilibrium. Footnote 3 Alternatively, the return to capital or to labour can be fixed and the supply of capital and/or labour adjusts to restore equilibrium. Footnote 4 In the GDyn model, investment adjusts to changes in the rate of return. In addition, by fixing wage rates, we allow labour supply to adjust to changes in wages. As a result, the TPP/TTIP impacts generate “endowment” effects: that is, the amount of labour and capital in an economy change based on changes in returns to labour and capital. Compared to simulations that adopt the default closure, our simulations show larger impact on quantities and less impact on prices. As regards GTAP’s macroeconomic closures, two approaches are available. First, the current account can be fixed. This assumes that the external balance is determined entirely by domestic investment–savings dynamics. When trade policy shocks result in unbalanced changes in imports and exports, the original trade balance is then restored by implicit exchange rate adjustments. Alternatively, the current account can be allowed to adjust to the trade shock. The choice of macroeconomic closure can also have significant implications for the model outcomes.

Input: Claim: Bats are blind and rely solely on echolocation to navigate their environment. [SEP] Text: In particular, we found that lobule X is more active in both EB and LB during echolocation than during control sounds. Thus, the arguments discussed above for potential function of calcarine cortex during echolocation also apply to lobule X. In addition to lobule X, we also found activity in left lobule VIIAt/Crus II during echolocation. Since this part of the cerebellum is involved in a non-motor loop involving Brodmann area 46 in pre-frontal cortex [24], the co-activation that we see in this part of the cerebellum and in cortex adjacent and inferior to the right middle frontal sulcus makes sense. As a caveat, we want to note however, that we cannot be certain that the activity we found adjacent and inferior to the middle frontal sulcus actually corresponds to activity in Brodmann area 46, because there is natural variability in the anatomical location of Brodmann area 46 in the human brain [43]. In any event, we suggest that the activation of right middle prefrontal cortex and left cerebellar lobule VIIAt/Crus II most likely reflects the involvement of cognitive and executive control processes that are non-echolocation specific. This hypothesis is supported by the fact that we also saw activity in these brain areas in C1 and C2. It is unlikely that this activity reflects motor imagery or the activation of a ‘click motor-scheme’ during the passive listening paradigm, because the click sound was the same between outdoor echo and outdoor control stimuli where only the echo was missing. current study is the first to investigate which brain areas potentially underlie natural echolocation in early- and late-blind people (EB and LB). In EB, we found robust echolocation-specific activity in calcarine cortex – but not in auditory cortex. A similar pattern was observed in LB, but the activity in the calcarine cortex was not as extensive. We also found that the calcarine activity was greater for echoes reflected from surfaces located in contralateral space in EB but not LB. Our findings also shed new light on how the cerebellum might be involved in sensory processing. In addition, our study introduced novel methodology that can be used in future experiments on echolocation.

Input: Claim: Trade agreements can lead to economic growth between countries. [SEP] Text: 25% reduction in the cost of trade for manufactured goods, other than electronic products for which we assume such practical measures have already been exhausted, following Ciuriak and Jingliang (2014). Third, NTBs in services are reduced. Estimates of the ad valorem tariff equivalents (AVEs) of services NTBs from Wang et al. (2009) and Brown et al. (2010) as implemented by Lee and Itakura (2015) are used. Table 3 provides a summary of the tariff equivalents of NTBs. These AVEs are introduced into the dataset from 2007 to 2012 and then reduced by up to 20% under the TPP/TTIP, based on an estimate provided by Lee and Itakura (2015). Table 3 Average tariff equivalents (ad valorem, %) of NTBs in services (2015)Full size table Fourth, an increase in the real wages of unskilled labour in developing countries across the world as a result of increase in labour standards owing to the TPP/TTIP is an assumption. These increases range from 0 to 20% (some evidence to this extent has been provided in Narayanan et al. 2016), in an inversely proportionate way to the size of per-capita GDP of the country; in other words, poorer countries would face a higher increase in real wages, since they would incur higher costs in improving their presumably low labour standards. Table 4 shows the extent to which we raise the real unskilled wages in these simulations. Table 4 Projected percentage increase in costs and productivity from standards compliance (2015–2030)Full size table Fifth, a similar schema for environmental standards, based on per-capita income, is adopted. We identify the sectors in terms of emissions intensity, so as to introduce lower costs of compliance to these standards for less polluting industries across the world. The costs range between 0 and 3% of real costs of capital (Table 4). Sixth, for IP regime compliance, capital costs ranging between 0 and 2%, again inversely related to per-capita income, are imposed. The results are summarized in Table 4. For both these aspects, the assumptions are supported by evidence discussed in Narayanan et al. (2016).

Input: Claim: Bats are blind and rely solely on echolocation to navigate their environment. [SEP] Text: From a more applied point of view, our data clearly show that EB and LB use echolocation in a way that seems uncannily similar to vision. In this way, our study shows that echolocation can provide blind people with a high degree of independence and self-reliance in their daily life. This has broad practical implications in that echolocation is a trainable skill that can potentially offer powerful and liberating opportunities for blind and vision-impaired people. Materials and MethodsAll testing procedures were approved by the ethics board at the University of Western Ontario, and participants gave written informed consent prior to testing. The consent form was read to participants, and the location to sign was indicated manually. Software used to conduct testing was programmed using Psychophysics toolbox 2. 54 [44], Matlab7 (R14, The Mathworks) and C/C++. fMRI data were analyzed using QX version 2. 1 (Brain Innovation, Maastricht, The Netherlands) and Matlab R14 (). Sound editing was performed with version 1. 5 software (). Sound equalization was performed with filters provided by the headphone manufacturer (). fimaging was performed at the Institute (London, Ontario, Canada) on a 3-Tesla, whole-body MRI system (Trio; Siemens, Erlangen, Germany) using a 32-channel head coil. Setup and Scanning Parameters. fMRI Echolocation: Audio stimuli were delivered over MRI-compatible insert earphones (-14). Earphones were encased in replaceable foam tips that provided a 20–40 dB attenuation level (information provided by the manufacturer). Further sound attenuation was attained by placing foam inserts between the head rest and the listener's ears. To minimize background noise, the MRI bore's circulatory air fan was turned off during experimental runs. A single-shot gradient echo-planar pulse sequence in combination with a sparse-sampling design [45] was used for functional image acquisition. Repetition time [TR] was 14 s (12 s silent gap+2 s slice acquisition). We used a FOV of 211 mm and 64×64 matrix size, which led to in-slice resolution of 3. 3×3. 3 mm. Slice thickness was 3. 5 mm and we acquired 38 contiguous axial slices covering the whole brain (including cerebellum) in ascending interleaved order.

Input: Claim: Horizontal gene transfer allows bacteria to acquire new traits. [SEP] Text: Lottery games come in all shapes and sizes, but the basic game is always the same: a random drawing of numbers. If your numbers match those that are drawn, you win the prize. The prize amount depends on how many of your numbers are correct. Generally, the more of your numbers that are correctly matching, the higher the prize amount will be. It is possible to increase your chances of winning by playing more than one ticket. You can also try to improve the accuracy of your numbers by using a lottery wheel. In addition, you can use a Lotterycodex calculator to calculate the probabilities of a combination. Moreover, you should try to make a balanced mixture of odd and even numbers. Lastly, you should avoid choosing numbers that have sentimental value, such as birthdays or birth dates. This will limit your potential to win a large jackpot. The first recorded lotteries took place in the in the 15th century to raise money for town fortifications and poor relief. These were followed by private and state lotteries in colonial America. These lotteries helped finance roads, canals, schools, colleges, churches, and public buildings. They also played a major role in financing the Revolutionary War. Winning the lotto is a long shot, but it is possible to increase your chances of winning by following proven strategies. If you play smart, you will have a better success-to-failure ratio and be able to predict the outcomes of future draws. This will help you to maximize your profits and reduce your losses. Moreover, you should play smaller games with lower odds than bigger games like the Powerball and EuroMillions. By doing this, you can avoid wasting your money on expensive tickets and still have a good chance of winning. In addition, you should also try to choose numbers that are not close together. This will prevent other players from selecting the same sequence of numbers and make it harder for them to hit the jackpot. Lastly, you should also consider how you will be paid if you win. In some countries, you can choose to receive your winnings in a lump sum or an annuity payment. The choice will have a direct impact on your tax liability, as well as the amount of time it takes for you to realize your winnings. For example, if you opt for a lump-sum payment, you will pay fewer taxes than if you choose an annuity payment.

Input: Claim: Trade agreements can lead to economic growth between countries. [SEP] Text: Seventh, as summarized in Table 4 the rise in productivity due to replacement of vintage capital is derived from the results for Japan shown by Hagiwara and Matsubayashi (2014), using the data from 1980 to 2007. This study highlights two main results of relevance for Japan—this productivity effect has been 0. 15% per year and the total replacement-induced productivity from 1980 to 2007 was more than twice the real GDP growth in this period. We assume the former to hold for the developing countries in this study. We make this assumption mainly due to lack of data availability and we acknowledge this is a limitation; however, since the capital replacement and productivity related to it are a very specific technical phenomenon that may not necessarily vary across countries, particularly given that Japan grew from a poorer country to a rich one, much like the countries in our model, this is not a completely flawed assumption. Thus, even though developing countries grow, as is the case with Japan, it is natural that the quality and composition of capital goods vary across countries. As a result, the relationship between capital formation and productivity growth also varies across countries. Eighth, for modelling the expansion in market access due to compliance with standards, the assumption is that 20% of all the disadvantages created in terms of prices will be recovered by improved market access. Without the compliance, these countries would have had no market access; we assume that such a disadvantage is partly removed by complying with these standards. The basis for the degree of this assumption is drawn from Narayanan et al. (2016). While many of our shocks do not directly affect investment, unlike the negotiations in TTIP, for example, there are strong indirect effects on investment. Firstly, as mentioned before, movements in trade due to reduction in trade costs can actually also move investment around, to preserve the balance of payments condition. Secondly, we have shocks to capital costs in the model, which have direct bearing on investment, through the increasing or decreasing capital costs that trigger demand for capital and hence growth in investment. 3. 5 Methodological limitationsWhile the GDyn model is quite robust, a few caveats as regards the data used for the analysis as well as in respect of the simulations are highlighted. First, a large number of provisions under negotiation in the TTIP and TPP overlap with the TFA. While we reduce the NTBs by the time cost of border transit, this may not entirely capture the NTB reducing effect of the TFA.

Input: Claim: Bats are blind and rely solely on echolocation to navigate their environment. [SEP] Text: In the end, for every one of the 12 echolocation sound files, there existed a control sound file that contained essentially the same click sounds, occurring at the same temporal points, but devoid of any click echoes. Procedure for Discrimination (EB and LB) Active Echolocation. To determine angular position discrimination thresholds we employed a 2-Interval-2-AFC adaptive staircase method, with step-sizes in the first two trials computed based on [46], and in subsequent trials based on [47]. The participant's task on every trial was to actively echolocate and determine whether a position marker (described in main text) at a test position was located to the left or right of a position marker at a straight ahead reference position. Presentation was sequential. S1 for more details. Passive Listening. During passive listening we used the same procedure as during active echolocation with the exception that participants did not actively echolocate, but listened to recordings of their own clicks and echoes. S1 for more details. Supporting InformationFigure S1. Results of source localization experiment. Plotted on the ordinate is the probability that the participant judges the source to be located to the right of its straight ahead reference position. Plotted on the abscissa is the position of the test position with respect to the straight ahead in degrees. Negative numbers indicate a position shift in the counter clockwise direction. Psychometric functions were obtained by fitting a 3-parameter sigmoid to the data. 25% and 75% thresholds and bias (denoted in red) were estimated from fitted curves. The zero-bias line is drawn for comparison (dashed line). It is evident from the data that EB and LB can determine the angular position of a source with high accuracy, i. e. , thresholds for EB and LB are 2° and 2. 5°, respectively. The localization thresholds for both EB and LB are within the range of what has been reported for source localization thresholds of sighted participants with respect to a centrally located reference source (Blauert, 1998; page 39, table 2. 1). For both EB and LB, performance is slightly better during source localization than during active or passive echolocation (compare Figure 1 in main text).
