+[{"text": "H3K4me1 is an epigenetic modification to the DNA packaging protein Histone H3. It is a mark that indicates the mono-methylation at the 4th lysine residue of the histone H3 protein and often associated with gene enhancers. Nomenclature. H3K4me1 indicates monomethylation of lysine 4 on histone H3 protein subunit: Lysine methylation. This diagram shows the progressive methylation of a lysine residue. The mono-methylation (second from left) denotes the methylation present in H3K4me1. Understanding histone modifications. The genomic DNA of eukaryotic cells is wrapped around special protein molecules known as histones. The complexes formed by the looping of the DNA are known as chromatin. The basic structural unit of chromatin is the nucleosome: this consists of the core octamer of histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) as well as a linker histone and about 180 base pairs of DNA. These core histones are rich in lysine and arginine residues. The carboxyl (C) terminal end of these histones contribute to histone-histone interactions, as well as histone-DNA interactions. The amino (N) terminal charged tails are the site of the post-translational modifications, such as the one seen in H3K4me1. Mechanism and function of modification. H3K4me1 is enriched at active and primed enhancers. Transcriptional enhancers control"}, {"text": "the cell-identity gene expression and are important in the cell identity. Enhancers are primed by histone H3K4 mono-/di-methyltransferase MLL4 and then are activated by histone H3K27 acetyltransferase p300. H3K4me1 fine-tunes the enhancer activity and function rather than controls. H3K4me1 is put down by KMT2C (MLL3) and KMT2D (MLL4) LSD1, and the related LSD2/KDM1B demethylate H3K4me1 and H3K4me2. Marks associated with active gene transcription like H3K4me1 and H3K9me1 have very short half-lives. H3K4me1 with MLL3/4 can also act at promoters and repress genes. Relationship with other modifications. H3K4me1 is a chromatin signature of enhancers, H3K4me2 is highest toward the 5\u2032 end of transcribing genes and H3K4me3 is highly enriched at promoters and in poised genes. H3K27me3, H4K20me1 and H3K4me1 silence transcription in embryonic fibroblasts, macrophages, and human embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Enhancers that have two opposing marks like the active mark H3K4me1 and repressive mark H3K27me3 at the same time are called bivalent or poised. These bivalent enhancers convert and become enriched with H3K4me1 and acetylated H3K27 (H3K27ac) after differentiation. Epigenetic implications. The post-translational modification of histone tails by either histone modifying complexes or chromatin remodelling complexes are interpreted by the cell and lead to complex, combinatorial transcriptional output. It is"}, {"text": "thought that a Histone code dictates the expression of genes by a complex interaction between the histones in a particular region. The current understanding and interpretation of histones comes from two large scale projects: ENCODE and the Epigenomic roadmap. The purpose of the epigenomic study was to investigate epigenetic changes across the entire genome. This led to chromatin states which define genomic regions by grouping the interactions of different proteins and/or histone modifications together. Chromatin states were investigated in Drosophila cells by looking at the binding location of proteins in the genome. Use of ChIP-sequencing revealed regions in the genome characterised by different banding. Different developmental stages were profiled in Drosophila as well, an emphasis was placed on histone modification relevance. A look in to the data obtained led to the definition of chromatin states based on histone modifications. Certain modifications were mapped and enrichment was seen to localize in certain genomic regions. Five core histone modifications were found with each respective one being linked to various cell functions. The human genome was annotated with chromatin states. These annotated states can be used as new ways to annotate a genome independently of the underlying genome sequence. This independence from the"}, {"text": "DNA sequence enforces the epigenetic nature of histone modifications. Chromatin states are also useful in identifying regulatory elements that have no defined sequence, such as enhancers. This additional level of annotation allows for a deeper understanding of cell specific gene regulation. Clinical significance. Suppression of the H3K4 mono- and di-demethylase LSD-1 might extend lifespan in various species. H3K4me allows binding of MDB and increased activity of DNMT1 which could give rise to CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP). CIMP is a type of colorectal cancers caused by the inactivation of many tumor suppressor genes from epigenetic effects. Methods. The histone mark H3K4me1 can be detected in a variety of ways: 1. Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Sequencing (ChIP-sequencing) measures the amount of DNA enrichment once bound to a targeted protein and immunoprecipitated. It results in good optimization and is used in vivo to reveal DNA-protein binding occurring in cells. ChIP-Seq can be used to identify and quantify various DNA fragments for different histone modifications along a genomic region. 2. Micrococcal Nuclease sequencing (MNase-seq) is used to investigate regions that are bound by well positioned nucleosomes. Use of the micrococcal nuclease enzyme is employed to identify nucleosome positioning. Well positioned nucleosomes are seen to have"}, {"text": "enrichment of sequences. 3.

Prince Zarkon's arch-enemy, Dr. Zandor Sinestro, alias Lucifer, returns for a second match. He now attempts to hold the banks of Knickerbocker City hostage and extorting millions of dollars by targeting them with artificially generated earthquakes. The key to his scheme is the secret Amsterdam fault running beneath the city.

In the case of squatters in Gr\u00e0cia, Piqu\u00e9 specifically advocated for following this up with legislation that both criminalizes illegal squatting but promoting at the same time cheap social housing.

The classic divide and choose procedure for cake-cutting is not truthful: if the cutter knows the chooser's preferences, they can get much more than 1/2 by acting strategically. For example, suppose the cutter values a piece by its size while the chooser values a piece by the amount of chocolate in it. So the cutter can cut the cake into two pieces with almost the same amount of chocolate, such that the smaller piece has slightly more chocolate. Then, the chooser will take the smaller piece and the cutter will win the larger piece, which may be worth much more than 1/2 (depending on how the chocolate is distributed). Randomized mechanisms. There is a trivial randomized truthful mechanism for fair cake-cutting: select a single agent uniformly at random, and give him/her the entire cake. This mechanism is trivially truthful because it asks no questions. Moreover, it is fair in expectation: the expected value of each partner is exactly 1/\"n\". However, the resulting allocation is not fair. The challenge"}, {"text": "is to develop truthful mechanisms that are fair ex-post and not just ex-ante. Several such mechanisms have been developed. Exact division mechanism. An \"exact division\" (aka \"consensus division\") is a partition of the cake into \"n\" pieces such that each agent values each piece at exactly 1/\"n\". The existence of such a division is a corollary of the Dubins\u2013Spanier convexity theorem. Moreover, there exists such a division with at most formula_1 cuts; this is a corollary of the Stromquist\u2013Woodall theorem and the necklace splitting theorem. In general, an exact division cannot be found by a finite algorithm. However, it can be found in some special cases, for example when all agents have piecewise-linear valuations. Suppose we have a non-truthful algorithm (or oracle) for finding an exact division. It can be used to construct a \"randomized\" mechanism that is truthful in expectation. The randomized mechanism is a direct-revelation mechanism - it starts by asking all agents to reveal their entire value-measures: Here, the expected value of each agent is always 1/\"n\" regardless of the reported value function. Hence, the mechanism is truthful \u2013 no agent can gain anything from lying. Moreover, a truthful partner is guaranteed a value of exactly 1/\"n\""}, {"text": "with probability 1 (not only in expectation). Hence the partners have an incentive to reveal their true value functions. Super-proportional mechanism. A super-proportional division is a cake-division in which each agent receives strictly more than 1/\"n\" by their own value measures. Such a division is known to exist if and only if there are at least two agents that have different valuations to at least one piece of the cake. Any \"deterministic\" mechanism that always returns a proportional division, and always returns a super-proportional division when it exists, cannot be truthful. Mossel and Tamuz present a super-proportional \"randomized\" mechanism that is truthful in expectation: The distribution \"D\" in step 1 should be chosen such that, regardless of the agents' valuations, there is a positive probability that a super-proportional division be selected if it exists. Then, in step 2 it is optimal for each agent to report the true value: reporting a lower value either has no effect or might cause the agent's value to drop from super-proportional to just proportional (in step 4); reporting a higher value either has no effect or might cause the agent's value to drop from proportional to less than 1/\"n\" (in step 3). Approximate exact"}, {"text": "division using queries. Suppose that, rather than directly revealing their valuations, the agents reveal their values indirectly by answering \"mark\" and \"eval\" queries (as in the Robertson-Webb model). Branzei and Miltersen show that the exact-division mechanism can be \"discretized\" and executed in the query model. This yields, for any formula_2, a \"randomized\" query-based protocol, that asks at most formula_3 queries, is truthful in expectation, and allocates each agent a piece of value between formula_4 and formula_5, by the valuations of all agents. On the other hand, they prove that, in any \"deterministic\" truthful query-based protocol, if all agents value all parts of the cake positively, there is at least one agent who gets the empty piece. This implies that, if there are only two agents, then at least one agent is a \"dictator\" and gets the entire cake. Obviously, any such mechanism cannot be envy-free. Randomized mechanism for piecewise-constant valuations. Suppose all agents have piecewise-constant valuations. This means that, for each agent, the cake is partitioned into finitely many subsets, and the agent's value density in each subset is constant. For this case, Aziz and Ye present a randomized algorithm that is more economically-efficient: Constrained Serial Dictatorship is truthful in"}, {"text": "expectation, robust proportional, and satisfies a property called \"unanimity\": if each agent's most preferred 1/\"n\" length of the cake is disjoint from other agents, then each agent gets their most preferred 1/\"n\" length of the cake. This is a weak form of efficiency that is not satisfied by the mechanisms based on exact division. When there are only two agents, it is also polynomial-time and robust envy-free. Deterministic mechanisms: piecewise-constant valuations. For \"deterministic\" mechanisms, the results are mostly negative, even when all agents have piecewise-constant valuations. Kurokawa, Lai and Procaccia prove that there is no deterministic, truthful and envy-free mechanism that requires a bounded number of Robertson-Webb queries. Aziz and Ye prove that there is no deterministic truthful mechanism that satisfies either one of the following properties: Menon and Larson introduce the notion of \"\u03b5-truthfulness\", which means that no agent gains more than a fraction \"\u03b5\" from misreporting, where \"\u03b5\" is a positive constant independent of the agents' valuations. They prove that no deterministic mechanism satisfies either one of the following properties: They present a minor modification to the Even\u2013Paz protocol and prove that it is \"\u03b5\"-truthful with \"\u03b5\" = 1 - 3/(2\"n\") when \"n\" is even, and \"\u03b5\" ="}, {"text": "1 - 3/(2\"n\") + 1/\"n\"2 when \"n\" is odd. Bei, Chen, Huzhang, Tao and Wu prove that there is no deterministic, truthful and envy-free mechanism, even in the direct-revelation model, that satisfies either one of the following additional properties: Note that these impossibility results hold with or without free disposal. On the positive side, in a replicate economy, where each agent is replicated \"k\" times, there are envy-free mechanisms in which truth-telling is a Nash equilibrium: Tao improves the previous impossibility result by Bei, Chen, Huzhang, Tao and Wu and shows that there is no deterministic, truthful and proportional mechanism, even in the direct-revelation model, and even when all of the followings hold: It is open whether this impossibility result extends to three or more agents. On the positive side, Tao presents two algorithms that attain a weaker notion called \"proportional risk-averse truthfulness\" (PRAT). It means that, in any profitable deviation for agent \"i\", there exist valuations of the other agents, for which \"i\" gets less than his proportional share. This property is stronger than \"risk-averse truthfulness\", which means that, in any profitable deviation for i, there exist valuations of the other agents, for which \"i\" gets less than his"}, {"text": "value in a truthful reporting. He presents an algorithm that is PRAT and envy-free, and an algorithm that is PRAT, proportional and connected. Piecewise-uniform valuations. Suppose all agents have \"piecewise-uniform valuations\". This means that, for each agent, there is a subset of the cake that is \"desirable\" for the agent, and the agent's value for each piece is just the amount of desirable cake that it contains. For example, suppose some parts of the cake are covered by a uniform layer of chocolate, while other parts are not. An agent who values each piece only by the amount of chocolate it contains has a piecewise-uniform valuation. This is a special case of piecewise-constant valuations. Several truthful algorithms have been developed for this special case. Chen, Lai, Parkes and Procaccia present a direct-revelation mechanism that is \"deterministic\", proportional, envy-free, Pareto-optimal, and polynomial-time. It works for any number of agents. Here is an illustration of the CLPP mechanism for two agents (where the cake is an interval). Now, if an agent says that he wants an interval that he actually does not want, then he may get more useless cake in step 3 and less useful cake in step 4. If he"}, {"text": "says that he does not want an interval that he actually wants, then he gets less useful cake in step 3 and more useful cake in step 4, however, the amount given in step 4 is shared with the other agent, so all in all, the lying agent is at a loss. The mechanism can be generalized to any number of agents. The CLPP mechanism relies on the free disposal assumption, i.e., the ability to discard pieces that are not desired by any agent.\"Note\": Aziz and Ye presented two mechanisms that extend the CLPP mechanism to piecewise-constant valuations - Constrained Cake Eating Algorithm and Market Equilibrium Algorithm. However, both these extensions are no longer truthful when the valuations are not piecewise-uniform. Maya and Nisan show that the CLPP mechanism is unique in the following sense. Consider the special case of \"two\" agents with piecewise-uniform valuations, where the cake is [0,1], Alice wants only the subinterval [0,\"a\"] for some \"a\"<1, and Bob desires only the subinterval [1\u2212\"b\",1] for some \"b\"<1. Consider only \"non-wasteful\" mechanisms - mechanisms that allocate each piece desired by at least one player to a player who wants it. Each such mechanism must give Alice a subset [0,\"c\"]"}, {"text": "for some \"c\"<1 and Bob a subset [1\u2212\"d\",1] for some \"d\"<1. In this model: They also show that, even for 2 agents, any truthful mechanism achieves at most 0.93 of the optimal social welfare. Li, Zhang and Zhang show that the CLPP mechanism works well even when there are externalities (i.e., some agents derive some benefit from the value given to others), as long as the externalities are sufficiently small. On the other hand, if the externalities (either positive or negative) are large, no truthful non-wasteful and position independent mechanism exists. Alijani, Farhadi, Ghodsi, Seddighin and Tajik present several mechanisms for special cases of piecewise-uniform valuations: Bei, Huzhang and Suksompong present a mechanism for two agents with piecewise-uniform valuations, that has the same properties of CLPP (truthful, deterministic, proportional, envy-free, Pareto-optimal and runs in polynomial time), but guarantees that the \"entire\" cake is allocated: The BHS mechanism works both for cake-cutting and for chore division (where the agents' valuations are negative). Note that BHS does not satisfy some natural desirable properties: This is not a problem with the specific mechanism: it is provably impossible to have a truthful and envy-free mechanism that allocates the entire cake and guarantees any of"}, {"text": "these three properties, even for two agents with piecewise-uniform valuations. The BHS mechanism was extended to any number of agents, but only for a special case of piecewise-uniform valuations, in which each agent desires only a single interval of the form [0, \"xi\"].

Moreover, no truthful mechanism can attain an allocation with utilitarian welfare at least as large as any other mechanism. However, there is a simple truthful mechanism (denoted Lex Order) that is \"non-wasteful\": give to agent 1 all pieces that he likes; then, give to agent 2 all pieces that he likes and were not yet given to agent 1; etc. A variant of this mechanism is the Length Game, in which the agents are renamed by the total length of their desired intervals, such that the agent with the shortest interval is called 1, the agent with the next-shortest interval is called 2, etc. This is not a truthful mechanism, however:"}, {"text": "Shofiqur Rahman Choudhury (born 18 August 1957) is a Bangladesh Awami League politician and a former Jatiya Sangsad member representing the Sylhet-2 constituency.

This tale of a snake shedding its skin to become a man is also known as \"Gureongdeongdeong sinseonbi\" in Korea, which means \"divine serpent scholar.\" The hardships the wife endures while searching for her husband is regarded by some as analogous to a priest attempting to once more receive a deity. History. \"Paemshillang\" adopted a narrative pattern similar to the Cupid and Psyche myth. According to the Aarne-Thompson classification of folktales, the story can be considered a Korean version of Type 425, \"The Search for the Lost Husband\". \"Paemshillang\" was passed down orally in more than forty-five variations throughout Korea. Some were included in major Korean folktale collections such as \"Hanguk gubi munhak daegye\", or the \"Compendium of Korean Oral Literature\". Synopsis. Summary.

However, after discovering that a snake had been born, they were all disgusted except for the youngest daughter. Upon witnessing the snake, the third daughter said the old woman had given birth to a divine serpent scholar (\"Kurungdungdung Shinsunbi\", in the original). When the snake grew up, it begged its mother to propose his marriage to one of their neighbor's daughters. The mother went next door to propose, but the eldest and second daughters refused. The third daughter accepted the proposal and married the snake. On their wedding night, the snake asked his bride to prepare a crock of soy sauce, a crock of flour, and a crock of water. The snake then slid into the crock of soy sauce, rolled about in the crock of flour, and finally bathed in the crock of water. When it came out, the snake had shed its skin and turned into a handsome scholar. The bride's elder sisters grew jealous when they saw their younger sister living with such an exceptionally handsome gentleman. One day, the snake husband made his wife promise not to show anyone his skin and went off to"}, {"text": "take the government service examination in Seoul. Unfortunately, the wife's elder sisters came over to secretly search for the snakeskin and burned it. Sensing from Seoul that his skin had been burned, the serpent scholar disappeared. When her husband failed to return home, the wife set out to look for him. On her way, she met a crow, a wild boar, a woman doing laundry and a farmer plowing the field and did what each of them asked her to do in order to learn of her husband's whereabouts. By the time the wife caught up with him, the serpent scholar had already remarried and was living with another woman. He decided to give tasks to the two women and stay with the one who performed them better. The tasks involved challenges like chopping firewood, drawing water, and sneaking a hair from a tiger's eyebrow, which the first wife carried out successfully while the second wife did not. The serpent scholar thus left his second wife and went back to living happily ever after with his first wife. Variation. Alternate versions of this folktale gave a different account of the snake's birth, his marriage to the third daughter, and his"}, {"text": "reunion with her. The mother of the snake is either an old woman or a widow. The pregnancy comes either from picking up and eating the egg of an animal or from a monk poking her with a stick. One version illustrates how the daughter's father at first rejects the snake's proposal but later reluctantly accepts, because the snake threatened to ruin the whole family. Another version offers detailed descriptions about the snake shedding its skin or the snake husband's reunion with his first wife, only briefly covered in other versions. Details pertaining to the third daughter's journey in search of her lost husband also vary. Features and significance. The snake in \"Paemshillang\" is a mystical creature. In some versions of the tale, the snake threatens its mother that it will hold a fire in one hand, a knife in the other, and slide back into her womb if she does not propose his marriage to their neighbor's third daughter. This is another scene that makes sense only by assuming the snake is a deity. And since it is a deity, the mother is compelled to accede to her son's request. The third daughter's recognition of the snake as a"}, {"text": "divine serpent scholar demonstrates her wisdom. Her first meeting with the snake could be seen as a deity's answer to her prayers. The third daughter's quest to find her husband after the burning of the snakeskin causes him to disappear signifies a process of attempting to welcome back a lost deity. From the third daughter's point of view, her ordeals reflect female characters in Korean narrative literature. Her competition with the serpent scholar's new wife demonstrates the conflict between the wife and concubines due to polygamy. The third daughter's victory against the new wife represents the common female tendency to root for the wife to defeat concubines. Similar folktales. \"Paemshillang\" is a folktale like \"Sangsabaem\" (Hangul: \uc0c1\uc0ac\ubc40; English: \"The Lovesick Snake\") and \"Yaraeja\" (Hangul: \uc57c\ub798\uc790; English: \"The Nocturnal Visitor\") in which an animal shapeshifts into human form. Comparison to other East Asian folktales. Korean scholarship sees a possible relationship between Korean tale \"Paemshillang\" and Japanese story \"Amewakahiko\", since both pertain to stories about snake bridegrooms who marry human women, disappear and are sought after by their spouses. However, it is also claimed that the Korean tale passed down orally, while the Japanese story was a literary development of the Japanese"}, {"text": "medieval period.

Morales, together with his Vice President \u00c1lvaro Garc\u00eda Linera, resigned the same day, on live television; both also delivered written resignations. In Morales's case, he would later describe in his memoir \"Volveremos y seremos millones\" (We'll come back and"}, {"text": "we'll be millions) that he made the decision to resign the night before the requests. Following his resignation and the resignations of the next two politicians in the line of succession, Jeanine \u00c1\u00f1ez, second vice-president of the Senate, was next in line for the presidency. On 12 November 2019, she formed an interim government. Protests continued until the end of November, primarily by those who sought Morales' return. Under direction from Morales and his allies, and at times under coercion, protesters created blockades on inter-departmental highways, resulting in shortages of food and fuel. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights expressed concerns over massacres by the new government in response to armed protests at Senkata and Sacaba. By 25 November 2019, the interim government had made agreements with most protest leaders to end blockades, and began to withdraw troops and to release arrested protesters. Background. Term limits. Article 168 of the 2009 constitution allowed the president and vice-president to be re-elected only once, limiting the number of terms to two.

The vote was held on 21 February 2016 and the proposed amendment was rejected by 51.3% to 48.7%. A successful \"yes\" vote would have allowed President Evo Morales and Vice President \u00c1lvaro Garc\u00eda Linera to run for another term in office in 2019. Morales had already been elected three times. The first time, in 2006, is not counted, as it was before the two-term limit was introduced by the 2009 constitution. Despite the referendum result, the Plurinational Constitutional Tribunal overruled the constitution by deferring to Article 23 of the American Convention on Human Rights, which promotes the human right to participate in government. The court ruled a little over one year after the referendum in December 2017 that all public offices would have no term limits, thus allowing Morales to run for a fourth term. The removal of term limits proved controversial among Bolivians, including Morales' supporters, with some losing trust in Morales for overturning a referendum.

Mark L. Schneider of the Center for Strategic and International Studies summarized that there was \"no question that there was a successful impact on raising the standard of living of the poor\" under Morales, but that \"problems in Bolivia arose, unfortunately, from the same problems that you see in Nicaragua and Venezuela, in Honduras and elsewhere where individuals decide that it's more important to stay in power than to follow democratic norms and the rule of law\". 2019 general election.

In 1849, Millet left Paris, a city that he had lived in for almost a decade. He moved to Barbizon, a small village on the edge of the Fontainebleau forest in the northern part of the center of France, due to a cholera outbreak and political and social unrest caused by the Revolutions of 1848.

One of Millet's students, Edward Wheelwright, wrote that, according to Millet, \"Every landscape, however small, should contain the possibility of being indefinitely extended on either side; every glimpse of the horizon should be felt to be a segment of the great circle that bounds out vision...\". Millet executed \"Starry Night\" with this philosophy in mind. He did so over the span of two years, painting a darkened path lit up by a star-filled night sky. In the foreground, there is a dark, almost black expanse of grass and dirt. The middle ground is complete with some dark green trees and shrubs and the remainder of the canvas shows a sky showered with stars and different hues of green and blue. There is a horizon near the center of the canvas, shown through a light green pigment that blends away into a darker blue color. The silhouette of a cart is in this horizon, contrasting sharply from the rest of the lighter colors in the sky. The sky is mostly astronomically accurate.

This style of painting a night sky contrasted greatly from most other artists of his time, who would paint night skies with bright dot-like stars that were not seen anywhere in the real sky and organized in made up constellations. Instead, in \"Starry Night\", he included parts of real constellations, such as the sword of Orion and Canis Major. In fact, according to Dr. Martin Beech, a professor of astronomy at Campion College at the University of Regina, \"the season during which \"Nuit \u00c9toil\u00e9e\" is set can possibly be dated with some accuracy.\" It is also possible that Millet observed the shooting stars he painted in the sky in a meteor shower known as the Orionids.

It is possible that this is a reference to the origins of the Orionid meteor shower occurring at that time, as these meteors seem to radiate from the constellation Orion. Exhibitions.

By the middle of the 18th century, the West Kirk Parish covered an area almost entirely surrounding the burgh of Edinburgh. The parish population had grown, especially in the area south of the Old Town now known as the Southside. To address this need, the West Kirk decided to erect a chapel of ease. To this end, the church issued subscription lists in 1754 and acquired a plot of land at the western end of Crosscauseway, near the eastern edge of the Boroughloch. To encourage subscriptions, everyone who subscribed \u00a35 or more was offered the right to elect the church's minister.

Roy Pinkerton argues the established church's eagerness to build a place of worship in the vicinity was also partly motivated by the recent establishment of the Antiburgher meeting house nearby, on Quarry's Close. St Cuthbert's Chapel of Ease was built to accommodate 1,200 worshippers and construction was estimated at \u00a3642. The West Kirk had earlier provided for the growth of its congregation with the construction of the Little or Wester Kirk as an extension to its existing buildings in 1593. This was, however, unroofed during Cromwell's occupation of Edinburgh from 1650. The exterior walls were repaired following the Revolution but a proposal of 1702 to restore the kirk entirely and provide it with its own minister was rejected by the presbytery. Around the same time, the Little Kirk began to be used as a burial enclosure. Early years. The chapel opened for worship in January 1756. Initially, the ministers of the West Kirk took turns preaching in the new chapel; however, this soon proved too onerous and James Roy was appointed the congregation's first dedicated minister in 1758.

At the time of Touch's departure in 1808, the congregation had declined and some in the West Kirk considered discontinuing the chapel. The ministers of the West Kirk, however, agreed to continue the chapel of ease's ministry themselves. Under Henry Moncrieff-Wellwood, the chapel's fortunes so reversed that, in 1810, a new aisle and gallery were added to the north of the church to accommodate the increased congregation. Moncrieff-Wellwood's work was continued by the appointment in 1813 of Henry Grey. Grey was succeeded in 1821 by Robert Gordon, who, when he departed for the nearby Hope Park Chapel in 1824, was succeeded by Patrick Clason. In 1834, the General Assembly erected the chapel a parish \"quoad sacra\" with the name Buccleuch Parish Church.

The departure of most of the congregation cast doubt the Buccleuch's viability and, when the post-Disruption minister, Henry Rutherford, left in 1851, the church again faced a serious risk of closure. The church survived, however, thanks to the Edinburgh University Missionary Association, which used it as a base for home mission work. Led by Archibald Charteris, the association soon gathered a large and enthusiastic congregation and, by 1857, the church was again able to support a full-time minister. That year, Alexander McLaren became minister and, in 1859, the Court of Teinds raised the church to full status as a parish \"quoad sacra\". During the ministry of Finlay Mathieson from 1863 to 1875, the church was renovated in the Gothic style. A choir was established and a harmonium purchased.

In 1928, the congregation's membership reached a peak of just over 2,000 By the middle of the 20th century, the Southside was beginning to experience population decline and many of the predominantly working-class congregation relocated to peripheral housing developments.

The south elevation is distinguished by a central bowed bay with finial, which parallels a square-ended bay with gable and ball finial on the north side. The interior remains subdivided into two floors while retaining many original fittings. These include the pulpit, organ loft, and galleries as well as the timber and part-glazed screens to the narthex. These screens have Art Nouveau door handles and stained-glass panels. Architectural history. At its construction in 1755, the building was a plain, vernacular building. Writing soon after its completion, Hugo Arnot hailed the church as \"a plain genteel building\". James Grant, however, writing in 1880, described the church as \"a hideous and unpretending structure\" prior to its 1866 renovation. In 1763, a three-stage bell tower with belfry, spire, and vane was added to the middle of the east gable. A bell from St Cuthbert's was installed in here 1791. The bell, about 2ft in diameter, was founded by John Meikle in 1700 and bore his name along with the inscription: \"For the West Kirk,"}, {"text": "1700\". The congregation had originally sought to procure the bell of the recently demolished Netherbow Port. Below the bell tower stood a porch, which was itself built into the boundary wall, allowing direct access to the street. Gates in the boundary wall on either side of the front porch gave access the kirkyard. A new aisle and gallery were added to the north side of the church in 1810. The church was renovated in 1866 by David MacGibbon. The building was refaced in the Gothic style: a clock was set in the east wall and the tower was removed and replaced by a short spire on the north side. Originally, the spire included a tall pinnacle but this was removed in the early 20th century. An apse-like bowed aisle was also added to the south side of the church. A scheme of stained glass was installed, including a window gifted by the Marquess of Bute in memory of one of his ancestors, Flora Mure Campbell, who is buried in the adjoining kirkyard.

On 25 June the following year, William Falconer, an Episcopal bishop, consecrated the kirkyard in the presence of five elders and one deacon of the West Kirk.

KDES is named for philanthropist Amos Kendall, who in 1856 donated land and hired Edward Miner Gallaudet away from American School for the Deaf, which his father had founded, to lead a school for his wards, a group of indigent deaf and blind children. Congress chartered the school as the Columbia Institution for the Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind in 1857, funding tuition costs for students from D.C. In 1860, Maryland began sending all its deaf students to the Columbia Institution. In the early years, the institution served students in elementary and secondary school, before beginning to offer college degrees in 1864.

It takes its name, which means \"ninth\" (Greek \u1f14\u03bd\u03b1\u03c4\u03bf\u03bd), from its location at the ninth milestone southwest of Alexandria along the coastal road. The Enaton was composed of distinct monasteries and cells which elected a common hegumen (leader). Theologically, the Enaton was Miaphysite. In its heyday, the district was international in character, comprising both Copts and Syriacs. It was a waystation (Roman \"mutatio\") for travellers from Alexandria to the monasteries of the Nitrian Desert and the monastery of Saint Mina. It probably served as an inn or hostel for pilgrims, tourists, merchants and their animals. Names.

It probably had an anchorage on the seacoast and served as an access point to the lake. The \"taenia\" was densely populated in late antiquity, with monasteries also at the fifth mile (Pempton), eighteenth (Oktokaidekaton) and twentieth (Eikoston). In the early 20th century, archaeologists identified funerary stelae and the ruins of a church near the village of Dikhaylah as coming from the Enaton. These are now thought to belong to the monastery of the Pempton. A more likely location is several miles further west on the hill of Kom al-Zujaj. As a result of its proximity to Alexandria, the Enaton provided a much easier life than the monasteries of the desert. When Hilaria, daughter of the Emperor Zeno (), tried to enter the monastery of Scetis, Abbot Pembo recommended that she join the Enaton instead because \"it is moderate; there is at this time a group of wealthy people who have made themselves"}, {"text": "monks; they live without fatigue; they find consolation.\" Structure. The Enaton is described in the sources as both a \"laura\" (that is, a collection of individual cells or hermitages, often in caves) and a \"monasterion\". It was composed of numerous autonomous foundations that varied in size from a lone hermit in a cell to large communities of monks. Each foundation was itself considered a \"monasterion\", the most common type being the \"koinobion\" (community of monks). Each \"koinobion\" had its own church and was under the rule of a superior with the title hegumen, cenobiarch or \"proestos\" and usually referred to as \"father\" (\"apa\" or \"abba\"). A community often took the name of a particularly revered superior, not necessarily its founder. The Enaton function according to a \"federal constitution\". The various monasteries elected a common leader with the title of hegumen. They had a common assembly and by the beginning of the 7th century a common \"oikonomos\" (steward). According to the \"History of the Patriarchs of Alexandria\", there were 600 monasteries in the Enaton around the year 600. This number more probably represents the total number of monasteries in the region of Alexandria, as indicated by the Copto-Arabic and Ethiopian Synaxaria."}, {"text": "Still, \"the many establishments at the Enaton must have given it the appearance of a large town with irregular streets, houses with terraced roofs, and dogs running about.\" History. Origins. The origins of the Enaton are obscure. There are hagiographic sources that push back the Enaton's history to the time of the Diocletianic persecution in late 3rd or early 4th century, but their reliability is questionable. The monk Theodore, whose words are preserved with the \"Sayings of the Desert Fathers\", is said to have come to the Enaton in 308. He was still alive in 364. The Arabic \"Passion of Sarapamon\", an account of the martyrdom of Bishop Sarapamon of Nikiu, records that the protagonist travelled from Palestine to be baptised by Patriarch Theonas of Alexandria () and decided to become a monk in the Dayr al-Zujaj. Sarapamon was a victim of the Diocletianic persecution. His \"Passion\", however, cannot be considered a completely reliable source. The Coptic \"Martyrdom\" of Apa Kradjon also links the Enaton to Theonas. It says that during the persecution the patriarch ordained a certain Theopemptos as the bishop of the Monastery of the Fathers outside Alexandria. This monastery purportedly already had six hundred monks at that"}, {"text": "time. The \"Martyrdom\", however, is largely legendary. John of Ephesus, in his \" Lives of Peter and Photius\" (written 565), takes the name \"Monastery of the Fathers\" to refer to the Enaton as a whole. A more reliable source for the early history of the Enaton is the Coptic \"Life of Longinus and Lucius\", a biography of the 5th-century hegumens Longinus and Lucius. It is generally considered basically historical. It indicates that in the time of Longinus (450s) there were already monks buried in a cemetery at the Enaton. The site thus appears to have existed for some time before Longinus' election. According to Basil of Oxyrhynchus, in a sermon on Longinus' virtues, the monastery founded by Abba Gaius from Corinth had originally been outside the Enaton. After it was joined to the Enaton community, Gaius was elected \"hegumenos\". Height. Under Longinus, the monks of the Enaton strongly opposed the decisions of the Council of Chalcedon (451). Explicitly Miaphysite theology arrived at the Enaton in 453 with Peter the Iberian and his followers, who were exiled from Maiuma in Palestine. Other Miaphysite and anti-Chalcedonian exiles from Palestine and Syria followed: Julian of Halicarnassus, Severus of Antioch (518), Tumo of \u1e24arqel"}, {"text": "(599) and Paul of Tella (599). Severus was buried in the Enaton. According to Zacharias Rhetor's biography of Severus of Antioch, there was a holy man named Salama ( 482\u2013489) who lived in a monastery in the Enaton that eventually took his name. He had students named Stephanus and Athanasius, the former of which also established a monastery at the Enaton that took his name. Two other friends of Severus are possibly to be associated with the Enaton. According to her Syriac biography, Anastasia the Patrician founded a monastery there. The Greek version of her life, however, places her foundation in the Pempton. Likewise, Caesaria the Patrician founded a monastery that may have been in the Enaton. In the 480s, some monks of the Enaton collaborated with the Chalcedonian monastery of the Metanoia east of Alexandria against a (by then illegal) shrine of Isis at Menouthis. There was a brief period when the Enaton appears to have adopted Chalcedonianism, since in 542/543 it received a treatise from the Emperor Justinian I and in 551 Justinian appointed the monk Apollinarius of the monastery of Salama to the patriarchate of Alexandria. Nonetheless, the Enaton must have soon reverted to Miaphysitism. While the"}, {"text": "Chalcedonian (Melkite) patriarchs resided at Alexandria, the Miaphysite (Coptic) patriarchs could not.

Prominent Chalcedonian visitors include John Moschus, who stayed in the monastery of John the Eunuch, and Patriarch Sophronius of Jerusalem, who dedicated an \"anacreonticon\" to Theonas, the head (\"oikonomos\") of the monastery of Tugara. In 616, the Enaton was the site of a meeting between the Coptic patriarch Anastasios Apozygarios and the Syriac patriarch of Antioch, Athanasios Gamolo, to heal a schism that had separate their two Miaphysite churches since the late 580s. Neither could meet in Alexandria, since it was controlled by the Chalcedonians. Their reconciliation was made possibly by philological studies conducted at the Antonine monastery in the Enaton. Between 615 and 617, while they were resident in the Enaton, Tumo of \u1e24arqel and Paul of Tella produced major translations into Syriac, the \u1e24arqlean version of the New Testament and the Syro-Hexaplar version of the Old Testament, respectively. Decline. The Enaton was sacked during the Persian conquest of Egypt in 619, but survived the Arab conquest of Egypt in 641. The Persian sack suggests that the Enaton was by that time quite wealthy. Although the"}, {"text": "Enaton occasionally benefited from Muslim rule in Egypt, it never regained its former glory. It seems to have maintained its federal constitution for some time, but by the 11th century it had become a single monastery. It maintained its international character and reputation for scholarship longer. It remained an active monastic centre until the 14th or 16th century. Its later history, however, is obscure. In 689, the hegumen John was considered for the patriarchate. The one actually elected, Simeon I, had been an oblate serving at the tomb of Severus. He was buried in the same church as Severus. The next patriarch, Alexander II, was also a monk from the Enaton. By the time of the Patriarch Mark II in the late 8th century, there was a tradition that a new patriarch should visit the Enaton. This tradition was abandoned by the 15th century. By the 11th century, the Enaton was a single monastery dedicated to Severus of Antioch. Owing to Severus and the Syriac influence, it had a Jacobite orientation. In 1066, the hegumen John ibn Tirus was considered for the patriarchate. The monastery may have suffered from Bedouin raids during the patriarchates of Shenouda II (1032\u20131046) and Christodoulos"}, {"text": "(1047\u20131077). The monastery had only about forty monks in residence during this period, a sharp decline from its heyday. \"The Miracles of Abba Mina\", possibly written as early as 1363, was attributed in the 18th century to a certain Archimandrite Mardarius of Gabal al-Niaton, perhaps a corrupted reference to the Enaton. Al-Maqrizi wrote in the 15th century that the monastery of Dayr al-Zujaj was also known as al-Hanatun and was dedicated to Bu Gurg the Elder, Saint George. He is the last author to write of the monastery as still existing. The monastery appears on western European maps from the 14th through 17th centuries, but it may have bee merely a placename by then. The decline of the monastery probably owes something to the disruption of the coastal traffic during the Crusades and the desertification of Lake Mareotis. List of monasteries.

At its greatest extent, the plant comprised two blast furnaces, a metal foundry, a sawmill, retorts for charcoal production, a power plant, and a refinery for wood distillation products. The planned garden town of Wundowie, approximately east of Perth by road and west of Northam, was built to provide accommodation for the workers of the plant.

Although the government had been investigating local production of iron using charcoal for some years, the story of the plant at Wundowrie begins with the passing of the \"Wood Distillation and Charcoal Iron and Steel Industry Act 1943\". This authorised the state government to set up and operate a plant to carry out wood distillation and the production of Charcoal Iron and of Steel and to set up a Charcoal Iron and Steel Industry Board of Management.

The production of these chemicals was intended to enhance the commercial viability of the iron-making operation.

Work at the site was underway by November 1944. In March 1945, the foundations for the blast furnace had been constructed but work on the furnace itself was held up by lack of steel, and work on the retorts had commenced. The Department of Housing developed the model township of Wundowie, based on garden town principles, to house the workers at the plant.

The wood distillation products refinery did not commence operating until January 1950. It was expected that the entire output of 10,000 tons of iron per annum would be taken by the local foundries and the Chamberlain tractor project at Welshpool. Difficulties experienced by the State Electricity Commission meant that the plant had to commence operating without its connection to the main grid. There were power shortages, until the grid connection became operational in October 1950. The plant used two forms of on-site power generation: steam and diesel. Two Babcock & Wilcox boilers were installed, capable of using four different kinds of fuel: blast furnace gas, wood, sawdust and tar. These different materials could be used separately or together.

The algorithm is named after Roy J. Glauber. The algorithm. The Ising model is an abstract model for the magnetic interaction of neighboring atoms. It is conventionally considered on a two-dimensional square lattice, with magnetic interactions occurring only between nearest neighbors. In this model, each lattice site is given a spin formula_1 that is either up (+1) or down (-1); the x and y are the grid coordinates. Glauber's algorithm becomes: In Glauber algorithm, if the energy change in flipping a spin is zero, formula_6, then the spin would flip with probability formula_7. Similarly, if the temperature is very high, then formula_8 and again, the probability of a flip is one-half. If the temperature is very low, then a flip to a higher-energy state almost never happens, while a flip to a lower energy state almost always happens. Comparison to Metropolis. The Glauber algorithm can be compared to the Metropolis\u2013Hastings algorithm. These two differ in how a spin site is selected (step 1), and in the probability of a spin-flip (step 4). In the Glauber dynamic, every spin has an"}, {"text": "equal chance of being chosen at each time step, and the decision to flip that spin, or not, is given by the Fermi function, as given above. By contrast, the Metropolis algorithm considers a spin site with a probability given by the Boltzmann weight formula_9, but if it is accepted, then it always flips a spin in favor of lowering the energy. Thus, the total spin-flip probability is: formula_10 Although both of the acceptance probabilities approximate a step curve and they are almost indistinguishable at very low temperatures, they differ when temperature gets high. For an Ising model on a 2d lattice, the critical temperature is formula_11. At thermal equilibrium, the Glauber and Metropolis algorithms should give identical results. In general, at equilibrium, any MCMC algorithm should produce the same distribution, as long as the algorithm satisfies ergodicity and detailed balance. In both algorithms, for any change in energy, formula_12, meaning that transition between the states of the system is always possible despite being very unlikely at some temperatures. So, the condition for ergodicity is satisfied for both of the algorithms.

In equilibrium, the probability of observing the system at state A is given by the Boltzmann weight, formula_17.

Meaning that when the transition from formula_13 to formula_14 is energetically unfavorable, the system happens to be at formula_13 more frequently, counterbalancing the lower intrinsic probability of transition.

In 1967, the Schriesheim\u2013Handschuhsheim section was re-signalled. Today, the line is controlled by Edingen signal box. Because the Seckenheim\u2013Neckarhausen\u2013Edingen line was lightly used because of the direct line that was opened in 1928/29, it was replaced by a bus route in 1969. The kilometre stones on the Neckar river embankment in Neckarhausen are still visible today. The halt of Neu-Edingen was opened on 10 April 1989.

The connection of the OEG to Deutsche Bahn's two main stations in Mannheim and Heidelberg thus took place within a few years of each other. As a result of the upgrade, the OEG was integrated into the Heidelberg tram network as a full line from June 1999.

After the completion of electrification of the OEG Mannheim\u2013Heidelberg\u2013Weinheim\u2013Mannheim triangular route in 1956, the two train services running to Weinheim were joined, with every second train continuing to Heidelberg, creating so-called \"round trip\" services.

As a result, the cycles were changed on 23 October and the turnaround time in Mannheim Kurpfalzbr\u00fccke was extended to 21 minutes. A reduced timetable with less regular intervals was operated from 1 July 1971 to 31 June 1973. Afterwards, the operation of regular-interval trains every half hour was restored, with 20-minute intervals in the peak hours. Between Kurpfalzbr\u00fccke and Seckenheim in the peak, trains ran at alternative intervals of 5/8/7 minutes (from 18 September 1975 in a 13/7 minute cycle only).
