It is shown that, in the non-elliptic case, the heat-kernel diagonal
is non-integrable near the boundary, which reflects the fact that the heat
kernel is not of trace class. We apply this analysis to general linear bosonic
gauge theories and find an explicit condition of ellipticity..

A mean field model is presented for the configuration dependent effective
demagnetizing and anisotropy fields in assemblies of exchange decoupled
magnetic particles of arbitrary shape which are expressed in terms of the
demagnetizing factors of the particles and the volumetric shape containing the
assembly. Perpendicularly magnetized 2D assemblies have been considered, for
which it is shown that the demagnetizing field is lower than the continuous
thin film.

by 1. In particular, we show that in a domain that is "star-shaped" with
respect to an axis, there is complete invasion by 1..

For a scale of spaces $X$ of functions analytic in the unit disc, including
the Korenblum space, and for some natural families $\mathcal E$ of uniqueness
subsets for $X$, we describe minorants for $(X,\mathcal E)$, that is
non-decreasing functions $M:(0,1)\to(0,\infty)$ such that $f\in X$,
$E\in\mathcal E$, and $\log|f(z)|\le -M(|z|)$ on $E$ imply $f=0$. We give an
application of this result to approximation by simple fractions with
restrictions on the coefficients..

What is a Ramble? Part bike packing, part adventure riding; the Ramble is a ride unlike any other. A multi-day event, with supported ride stops and catered camps, each Ramble takes you through unique landscapes along challenging routes. The overall mileage for each ride is less than 200 miles and split as evenly as possible over 3 days of riding. We keep the routes to as much dirt as possible and cover county gravel roads, forest roads and even some double track when we can. And the views are always amazing. For the ride, you carry your own basic gear each day. Because we’re taking you through some spectacular and secluded locations, the goal is to carry what you’d need to be self sufficient for a 60-75 mile ride with the ability to stay overnight on route if needed. Check out “What Should I bring?” for more information. But as challenging as the routes can be, camp life makes up for it. Fully catered, and fully stocked thanks to New Belgium Brewing, Ramble camps are the place to come together and share the day’s adventure and a few laughs with friends. The other thing you’ll notice is we limit participation. We do this for several reasons: First is the impact on the routes.

From the evaluation
of a variety of current VLMs, we find that these models struggle with
understanding these dynamic properties due to the lack of explicit knowledge
about the spatial structure in 3D and world dynamics in time variants. To
demonstrate the importance of an explicit 4D dynamics representation of the
scenes in understanding world dynamics, we further propose NS-4Dynamics, a
Neural-Symbolic model for reasoning on 4D Dynamics properties under explicit
scene representation from videos.

The equivalent width of the line in GX 17+2 is consistent
between the 2 epochs, while in GX 349+2 the line equivalent width increases by
a factor of ~3 between epochs as the source flux decreases by a factor of 1.3.
This suggests that the disk is highly ionized, and the line is dominated by
recombination emission. We find that there appears to be no specific locations
in the long-term hardness-intensity diagrams where iron emission lines are
formed, though more sources and further observations are required..

Blowing past tolls in Md. but never forced to pay
GAITHERSBURG, Md. – Toll road cheaters are not just blowing through the E-ZPass lanes, they’re skating by without paying the penalty. The Washington Post reports that Maryland isn’t doing much to crack the whip on thousands of drivers, and that leaves millions of dollars in unpaid tolls. About 15,000 individual vehicle owners are shrugging off charges of at least $500, the Post reports. But drivers who slide by the toll lanes haven’t felt the wrath of the state. The Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration hasn’t suspended a single car registration on the basis of toll cheating in more than two years. And the debts are piling up. Nearly 650,000 vehicle owners owe about $6.7 million in unpaid tolls over the last five years. One car rental company alone owes the state more than $200,000 in unpaid tolls and penalties. It has received almost 7,000 letters over four years, the Post reports.

Stellar winds of massive stars are known to be driven by line absorption of
UV photons, a mechanism which is prone to instabilities, causing the wind to be
clumpy. The clumpy structure hampers wind mass-loss estimates, limiting our
understanding of massive star evolution.

If you’ve followed tennis with any degree of regularity over the last 10 years, you understood exactly what you were going to see last weekend when France took the court for the Davis Cup final. You knew it had been 16 years since the country had won the title. And you knew the current Musketeer generation of Frenchmen—led by Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Richard Gasquet, Gael Monfils, Gilles Simon and Julien Benneteau—had been expected to bring home multiple Cups by now, just as their namesakes from the 1920s had. You were probably also aware of the checkered histories of each player. You knew that Gasquet appeared on the cover of a tennis magazine at age 9, and that he has spent the last 20 years trying, and mostly not succeeding, to live up to that future-of-French-tennis billing. You remembered the sad sight of Tsonga hiding underneath a towel at Roland Garros a few years ago after a particularly crushing defeat in front of the heartbroken home fans. You might also, like those home fans, refer to Tsonga simply as “Jo”—mostly when you yell, “No, no, no, not again, Jo!” at your TV. In short, you understood what it would mean to France’s long-suffering players and fans if they could end their Davis Cup drought.

Q:
How are interrupts implemented in practice? Consider an USB device that is receiving data over a wireless network and an application running on the PC is reading this data. Now, on many languages (consider C# DataReceived), we have event handling mechanisms to detect if Data has arrived or not. My question is, how is this event detecting mechanism implemented? Is it like, a running timer which periodically checks to inspect arrival of data, or is this something the hardware has to support? In general, how are these changes in hardware state events implemented? A:
Interrupts are a hardware mechanism similar to events. Whenever a specific condition arises in the physical world (e.g. data arriving on USB), a line switches from one level to the other. This is an interrupt request. The CPU is built to detect this change and to respond by jumping to an Interrupt Service Routine. This routine in turn generates a software event. A:
USB is quite complicated because various parts of the protocol may be implemented in hardware depending upon the platform being used. It might be easier to consider something a little simpler, perhaps a serial port controller. The precise series of actions that are performed will depend upon the processor interrupt handling mechanism (some processors are more automated in servicing interrupts than others).

The calculations are performed
with the cosmological hydrodynamics code ENZO (release 2.2) coupled with the
chemistry package KROME (including a network for primordial chemistry), which
was previously shown to be accurate in high resolution simulations. While the
new rates can shift the point where the gas becomes fully molecular, leading to
a different thermal evolution, there is no trivial trend in how this occurs.
While one might naively expect the results to be inbetween the calculations
based on Palla et al.

The present invention relates to motor vehicles provided with a headlight beam adjusting device, and more particularly to a wire length adjusting device of a wire for adjusting a headlight beam. A known headlight beam adjusting device comprises a headlight mounting frame having an upper end hingedly mounted to a vehicle body at a support for a radiator core; a controller having a manually operative dial; and a wire for adjusting a headlight beam operatively connecting a lower swingable end of the headlight mounting frame with the controller in such a manner that manually operating the dial causes the controller to pull the wire, causing the headlight mounting frame to pivot against the bias of a spring, or to push the wire, casing the headlight mounting frame to pivot under the bias of the spring. To adjust the wire length, an adjust screw is provided within an engine compartment. The adjust screw has a head disposed within the engine compartment and a threaded flank with a locking nut thereon. The wire length adjustment is carried out firstly by releasing the locking nut, secondly by turning the adjust screw to adjust the wire length and thirdly by tightening again the locking nut. With this known wire length adjusting device, there are problems as follows:
(1) The above-mentioned three operations required upon the wire length adjustment take a great deal of trouble and time.

The inverse beta decay of accelerated protons has been analyzed both in the
laboratory frame (where the proton is accelerated) and in the comoving frame
(where the proton is at rest and interacts with the Fulling-Davies-Unruh
thermal bath of electrons and neutrinos). The equality between the two rates
has been exhibited as an evidence of the necessity of Fulling-Davies-Unruh
effect for the consistency of Quantum Field Theory formalism.

We show that quantum fields confined to Lorentzian histories of freely
falling networks in Minkowski spacetime probe entanglement properties of vacuum
fluctuations that extend unrestricted across spacetime regions. Albeit
instantaneous field configurations are localized on one-dimensional edges,
angular momentum emerges on these network histories and establish the
celebrated area scaling of entanglement entropy..

As Hurricane Irene makes it way toward North Carolina, where it's expected to make landfall early Saturday morning, video footage of the storm is beginning to surface. The storm weakened to a Category 2 as it reached Florida's waters, the Associated Press reported, but it could pick up steam again. The video below appears to show the first injuries from the storm, as eight people were swept off a jetty near West Palm Beach by giant waves. According to the Palm Beach Post, one of the eight is in a hospital in serious condition. The waves crashed over people in Boynton Beach, Florida, who ventured out to a jetty to watch the storm. Orlando WESH 2 News meteorologist Dan Billow was also hit by a rogue wave while trying to report on erosion caused by the storm. "It almost took me out of here," he says. This video below shows Irene blasting the Bahamas. According to CBS, there have been no reports of major injuries from the storm yet, which passed the islands this morning. But up to 90 percent of homes on two sparsely populated islands, called Acklins and Crooked, are severely damaged. Winds were up to 120 miles per hour.

Despite promising, their results are still
sub-optimal considering the three following drawbacks: 1) These models are
mostly trained from scratch, learning two different objectives simultaneously.
The misalignment between two objectives will negatively affect training
efficiency and model performance. 2) The enclosing class context is not fully
exploited, making it difficult to learn the abstract function of the method.

The latest figures on income inequality in the USA
America has one of the most unequal distributions of income among the developed nations. Here are the latest numbers on that trend. It’s boring stuff. Unless you consider its importance to the survival of our political order. Throughout history, extremes of income inequality have destabilized societies. Democracies might be esp vulnerable to this. Poverty increased, median household income fell, and the percentage of Americans with employer-based health coverage continued to decline in 2008, according to Census data for 2008 issued today. The figures reflect the initial effects of the recession. Median household income declined 3.6% in 2008 after adjusting for inflation, the largest single-year decline on record, and reached its lowest point since 1997. The poverty rate rose to 13.2% , its highest level since 1997. The number of people in poverty hit 39.8 million, the highest level since 1960. These data include only the early months of the recession. The figures for 2009, a year in which the economy has weakened further and unemployment has climbed substantially, will look considerably worse, and the figures will likely worsen again in 2010 if, as many economic forecasters expect, unemployment continues to rise in that year. (In the last tworecessions, the unemployment rate continued rising for 15 to 19 months after the recession officially ended.)

The Creativity of Netflix: a List of All Netflix Original Series
Truthfully, it’s hard to make a list for this category, as what really constitutes as an original or an exclusive? A lot of Netflix Originals are offshoots of preexisting content.

We editorialized a bit below to determine what belongs on this list, feel free to disagree in the comments! Updated 12/5/2014 – Marco Polo is only a week away! Updated 12/22/2014 – All Hail King Julien is available for all to watch! Below, we explain the originality of each series, source material and other fun tidbits about each show in the order of which they were released on Netflix:

Lilyhammer fell mostly on deaf ears in the United States on it’s release date.

The parameters of the model are
found from the requirement that self-consistent moments on atoms and density of
states found from ab initio and model calculations within the Hartree-Fock
approximation are close to each other as much as possible. Contrary to the
commonly accepted statement that an increase of the Si concentration within
nearest environment of Fe atoms in the ordered Fe3Si and FexSi1-x alloys leads
to a decrease of Fe magnetic moment we find that a crucial role in the
formation of magnetic moments is played by second coordination sphere of Fe
atoms.

This invention relates to a sheet feeding apparatus e.g. for feeding a copying machine with copying sheets, more specifically to an apparatus for feeding sheets provided with a detachable sheet storage box. As a sheet feeding apparatus for feeding a copying machine with copying sheets one by one, there is generally used an apparatus which is provided with a cassette as a sheet storage box to be detachably set in the storage portion inside the housing of the copying machine. According to such a sheet feeding apparatus, the copying sheets in the cassette are fed one by one into the housing by means of sheet feeding rollers as sheet feeding means disposed in the housing. Thereupon, in order to ensure the sheet feeding operation, it is necessary to produce a given friction between the copying sheet and the feeding rollers. Springs are generally used as means for producing the friction. At present, the space for the springs is set inside the cassette according to one type of apparatus, and inside the copying machine according to another. Simpler in construction, the latter type is widely put to practical use. In the sheet feeding apparatus of the type using the springs in the cassette, however, the sheet feeding rollers must be kept away from the front end edge of a pile of copying sheets stored in the cassette when inserting the cassette into the housing.

The Effect of Online Homework Due Dates on College Student Achievement in Elementary Algebra
Joan M. Raines
Abstract
This quasi-experimental study examined the use of online homework in a college elementary algebra course to determine if homework due dates made a difference in students’ mathematics achievement as measured by unit tests and an end of course final exam. The extent to which homework was completed and possible gender differences in performance were also investigated. Participants in this study were students (n = 58) enrolled in three sections of the course during fall 2010 and spring 2011 semesters. The control group consisted of students who had all unit homework due the night before the unit test, and the study group had homework due throughout the unit testing period. Results of a two-way ANOVA revealed no significant differences in test grades between the two groups and an unpaired t-test showed no significant differences in final exam grades. Additionally, gender appeared to have no significant effect on academic performance either.

their partner's immediately preceding utterance. This striking level of
coordination is thought to have arisen as a way to achieve social goals, such
as gaining approval or emphasizing difference in status.

President Trump’s speech in Phoenix brought out the usual cast of misfits and miscreants. And no, I’m not just referring to the “Antifa” anarchists who were, for the most part, denied their typical practice of wielding clubs, hurling feces, throwing rocks, setting vehicles ablaze and destroying buildings. I’m talking about chronic Trump critics like James Clapper, the former Director of National Intelligence. Spouting off on CNN immediately after the speech, Clapper said he questioned the president’s “fitness to be in this office." Lying to Congress is a felony. Yet Clapper managed to avoid prosecution for criminal perjury by hiding behind President Obama. So, when Clapper decries the “complete intellectual, moral or ethical void” of President Trump, the irony is lost on no one. Clapper seems to be making a career out of trashing Trump. He’s like a guy who can’t resist cramming a cannoli in his mouth every time he passes a pastry shop. Whenever Trump speaks, Clapper starts yapping. It is no coincidence that his mouth, and the lie that came out of it back in 2013, is what should have landed him behind bars.

Thus, we can
obtain guaranteed intervals of the worst possible values of the moments for all
parameter distributions satisfying the given statistics, which are
prohibitively hard to estimate from sample-path simulations since sampling from
all possible uncertain distributions is difficult. We demonstrate the proposed
optimization approach using two examples of stochastic chemical reactions and
show that the solution of the optimization problem gives informative upper and
lower bounds of the statistics of the stationary copy number distributions..

Accumulation and annihilation of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs)
in the earth and the sun may be observed by the resulting neutrino signal. We
demonstrate that, for certain parts of the SUSY parameter space, present and
future neutrino telescopes can expect a higher rate of events due to
tau-neutrinos than of events due to muon-neutrinos.

Multi-frequency very-long-baseline array (VLBA) observations of
the source confirm the extended, jet-like structure previously found in the 1.6
GHz band with European VLBI Network and detect this component in the 4.6 GHz
and the 7.3 GHz bands. The radio spectral indices of the core and the jet and
the level of polarization derived from the VLBA observations are in a range
typical for blazars.

We propose an explicit small-signal graphene field-effect transistor (GFET)
parameter extraction procedure based on a charge-based quasi-static model. The
dependence of the small-signal parameters on both gate voltage and frequency is
precisely validated by high-frequency (up to 18 GHz) on-wafer measurements from
a 300 nm device.

Leading idea of this manuscript is to discuss the structure and the deep
correlations among different quantum physical systems, and to explore how such
correlations bear on the capacity of the systems to encode and manipulate
information. In particular, the role of logical operators constructed out of
multi-boson (and possibly fractionary-boson) operators is analyzed in its
relation on the one hand with the algebra of diffeomorphisms of the circle, on
the other with the physical properties of the fractional quantum Hall effect
(described in terms of Laughlin states) and of its many electron representation
in terms of the Chern-Simons topological quantum field theory..

Iron Man leads the Knights into boarding the Colonizer ship, prompting Arcturus to send the Punisher through the teleport device to the Moon. Iron Man follows, and the Rigellian-Wundagorian battle spills out through the device as well. The Russian heroes enter the fray. On Earth, Iron Man and the Punisher are detected only as invading objects. Madame Masque orders a "supermissile" launched, but Iron Man turns the Punisher to take the brunt of the blast. Both crash land and after a savage battle, Iron Man defeats his alien enemy. With the Rigellians losing the lunar battle Arcturus asks the Knights to join him in invading Earth. However, Recorder #211 arrives, states that other Rigellians have located a new homeworld, rendering the war irrelevant, and arrests Arcturus. Jack of Hearts and the Russians return to Earth in a Rigellian-provided ship, while Rigellians and Knights leave the Moon via the teleport device, which the Recorder promises to destroy. Notes
In this issue, it shows that Pepper Potts and her husband Happy have relocated to a spot in the Rocky Mountains. They had previously been seen traveling out of town on a train. Before returning to work for Tony Stark in Iron Man 62, the couple had resided in New Jersey.

Now, after all that, my family had missed the first leg of the new itinerary. On hold with the airline yet again, my husband was texting me sexy emojis. “Focus,” I replied, with an emoji of an airplane. He sent me an emoji of a flan. He and I married young for our urban friend group — in our late 20s — and now, in our late 30s, we find ourselves attending the weddings of peers. My husband of 11 years and I sit at these weddings listening to our in-thrall friends describe all the ways in which they will excel at being married. “I will always be your best friend,” they say, reading from wrinkled pieces of paper held in shaking hands. “I will never let you down.”
I clap along with everyone else; I love weddings. Still, there is so much I want to say. I want to say that one day you and your husband will fight about missed flights, and you’ll find yourself wistful for the days when you had to pay for only your own mistakes. I want to say that at various points in your marriage, may it last forever, you will look at this person and feel only rage.

This invention relates generally to an elevator, and more specifically to method and apparatus for determining the position of an elevator car as the car moves along a hoistway. In order to bring an elevator car to a smooth, safe stop, level with a landing, the car controller must have reliable information concerning the movement and position of the car in order to know when to initiate car leveling and stop procedures as well as the opening the car doors. To carry out these functions accurately, it is necessary to know the car""s exact position at all times. Many existing reference systems are based on incremental encoders and vanes which can be mounted in a variety of arrangements within the hoistway. In one arrangement, an endless tape having slots formed along its length is attached to the car and is trained about idler sheaves located at the top and the bottom of the hoistway. One sheave contains teeth that mate with the slots in the tape so that the sheave is driven by the endless tape. An encoder is driven by the toothed sheave and provides primary car position information to the car controller. Additional discrete position sensors and vanes are located at each landing to provide secondary car position information that is used to bring the car to a smooth, safe stop at each landing.

In this paper, we study how pixel size influences energy resolution for a
proposed pixelated detector---a high sensitivity, low cost, and real-time radon
monitor based on \textit{Topmetal-${II}^-$} time projection chamber (TPC).
Using \textit{Topmetal-${II}^-$} sensors assembled by 0.35 $\mu$m CMOS
Integrated Circuit process, this monitor is designed to improve the spatial
resolution of detecting radon alpha particles. Concerning small pixel size
might has a side effect of worsening energy resolution due to lower signal to
noise ratio, a Great4-based simulation is used to figure out energy resolution
dependence on pixel size ranging from 60 $\mu$m to 600 $\mu$m.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a rotary connector for electrical connection to be performed by using a flexible cable between a pair of rotatably connected housings and, more particularly, to a locking mechanism for holding the housings in the neutral position of rotation until completion of installation of the rotary connector to a steering system of an automobile. 2. Description of Related Art
The rotary connector is roughly comprised of a pair of housing which are rotatably connected, and a flexible cable wound in an annular housing space defined between the housings; both ends of the flexible cable being fixed to the housing and, in this state, electrically led out. When the movable housing is turned clockwise or counterclockwise in relation to the stationary housing, the flexible cable is wound or unwound in the housing space in accordance with the direction of rotation, thereby, in both states, keeping electrical connection between these housings through the flexible cable. In the rotary connector, the housing on the stationary side is attached to a combination switch which is a stator member of the steering system, and the housing on the movable side is attached to the steering wheel which is the rotor member of the steering system respectively. The rotary connector thus configured is used as a means of electrical connection for an air bag inflator, a horn switch, etc.

connected graph $G$ that satisfies the following two conditions: (i) $G$
contains no subdivision of a `fat' $K_{\aleph_0}$, one in which every edge has
been replaced by uncountably many parallel edges; and (ii) $G$ has no
$K_{\aleph_0}$ subgraph. We show that the second condition is unnecessary..

James Heywood Markland
James Heywood Markland (1788–1864) was an English solicitor and antiquary. Life
Born at Ardwick Green, Manchester, 7 December 1788, he was the fourth and youngest son of Robert Markland, a textile manufacturer there; his mother was Elizabeth, daughter of Robert Hibbert of Manchester. At age 11 he was sent for his education to the house of the headmaster of Chester school. Markland was trained as a solicitor in Manchester, but in 1808 roved to London and practised there. In 1814 he was appointed by the West India planters their parliamentary agent, and in the same year entered as a student at the Inner Temple. He remained in London in practice, being the head partner in the firm of Markland & Wright, until 1839, when he retired to Malvern. In 1841 he moved to Bath, Somerset and spent the rest of his life there. Markland was elected Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London in 1809, and from 1827 to April 1829, when he resigned the post, acted as its director. He joined the Roxburghe Club at its second meeting (1813), when it was enlarged to 24 members, in 1816 became Fellow of the Royal Society, and on 21 June 1849 was created D.C.L. of the University of Oxford.

We find that the Ly$\alpha$~luminosity
density decreases as the universe becomes more neutral. Furthermore, as the
neutral fraction increases, the faint-end slope of the Ly$\alpha$~LF steepens,
and the characteristic Ly$\alpha$~luminosity shifts to lower values, concluding
that the evolving shape of the Ly$\alpha$~LF -- not just its integral -- is an
important tool to study reionization..

Q:
Android audio input
I know that on the iPhone you can plug in your guitar and other audio devices but can you do this on Android? Can any recording application do this? A:
The headphone jack of many android devices will accept audio input. A few caveats:
Audio input using this method is mono only. This will vary by device as some may not accept audio input, and others simply don't have headphone jacks. If a particular device came with a headset with a built-in mic, odds are it will accept audio input. This method does not support the use of an external mic while recording video. You'll need to use a special adapter that will split the input/output of the jack. Something like this or the adapter mentioned here would probably work. It seems like audio input through USB would be possible, but this feature request suggests it isn't yet implemented.

sine-Gordon quantum solitons in the phase of this field. Then using both the

Ulnar translocation after excision of giant cell tumour of distal radius. Translocation of the ipsilateral ulna has been carried out in six cases after radical resection of a giant cell tumour of the distal radius. The carpo-ulnar junction united readily in all cases. Union of the radio-ulnar junction is often delayed, but this can be overcome by the addition of cancellous grafts at the time of ulnar translocation. All the patients had very good forearm rotation and an acceptable appearance. There were no significant complications.

TWENTY YEARS, two premiers and two future Presidents. Why do China’s leaders love visiting Shannon? Last week, Chinese Vice-President Xi Jinping flew into Shannon airport, met with Shannon Development executives, and went out to dine at a medieval banquet at Bunratty Castle, just off the motorway connecting Shannon and Limerick. The heir apparent to the Presidency of China tucked into the hearty Clare fare and took in the traditional dance and food, and took in some chit-chat from Ministers Eamon Gilmore and Michael Noonan, who sat with him for dinner. It is hoped that he had fun. Now unless you have a deluded idea of the importance of Ireland (let alone Sixmilebridge) this evening should beg an obvious question: what on earth was the heir apparent to the world’s second largest economy doing in Ireland, in Clare, and meeting Shannon Development, a local Irish agency you probably don’t hear about very often these days? And why the medieval banquet? Which should beg another question: why, in the past 20 years, have all the following powerful Chinese leaders come to Clare and requested meetings with Shannon Development: President Jiang Zemin; Premier Zhu Rongji; Premier Wen Jiabao; Vice Premier Huang Ju and Vice Premier Zeng Peiyan?

Hello, I'm very new to this. Could anyone give me examples of numbers opera versus through composed. A friend was telling me that Otello and Tosca were the latter while The Berber of Seville was numbers. More examples or a list would be appreciated. Also what is Wagner considered? the works of Britten? Thanks
Pretty simplistically, numbers operas are typically arias/duets/choruses surrounded by recitative or spoken dialogue. Most operas written before around mid-19th century are numbers operas--think Mozart, Rossini, Bellini, etc. Most late 19th century and early 20th century opera are through-composed, particularly Wagner, who was ideologically and aesthetically opposed to the form of numbers operas. Verdi is an interesting case, since he started off writing numbers operas and his compositions became more through-composed over time. Pretty simplistically, numbers operas are typically arias/duets/choruses surrounded by recitative or spoken dialogue.

Our improved measurement precision also allows us to determine that
much of the scatter in the star formation law is intrinsic, and we search for
correlations between this intrinsic scatter and secondary physical parameters.
We find that dwarf galaxies exhibit second-order correlations with total gas
fraction, stellar mass surface density, and dynamical time that may explain
much of the scatter in the star formation law. Finally, we discuss various
systematic uncertainties that should be kept in mind when interpreting any
study of the star formation law, particularly the $X(\textrm{CO})$ conversion
factor and the diameter chosen to define the star-forming disk in a galaxy..

such that two inequivalent energetically degenerate energy minima arise at the

condensation points such that a complex-valued chiral superfluid order

For Tips And Tips On Fashion You Required, Read This
Many times, when someone is trying to improve themselves they forget about fashion. They think of fashion as a frivolous enterprise, when nothing could be further than the truth. What you choose to wrap your body in says a lot about you. Here are some stylish fashion tips to make sure you're saying the right thing! It has become fashionable for men to wear clothes that are very baggy, but this should be avoided. This makes you look sloppy and can make you look larger than you really are. While you do not have to wear anything that is too restricted, one size larger than your actual size should be the limit. The best fashion tip you can get is to be yourself when it comes to what to wear. People have different opinions about what is fashionable, and you may aspire to be something you're not. The truth is, no matter what your style, you are always in fashion when you remain true to yourself. Buy a variety of jewelry pieces. If you have a good number of colors and styles, you will always have something that matches your outfit. You then will not have to worry about purchasing jewelry to match every outfit that you buy.

Bayesian hierarchical mixture clustering (BHMC) improves traditionalBayesian
hierarchical clustering by replacing conventional Gaussian-to-Gaussian kernels
with a Hierarchical Dirichlet Process Mixture Model(HDPMM) for parent-to-child
diffusion in the generative process. However,BHMC may produce trees with high
nodal variance, indicating weak separation between nodes at higher levels.

In addition,
we provide, a baseline evaluation of several data analysis tasks related to
biometrics, breathing pattern recognition and pose identification. Our results
achieve a pose identification accuracy of 87\% and breathing pattern activity
recognition of 83\% using features extracted from biosignals.

GHOSTPOET RETURNS WITH NEW SINGLE ‘IMMIGRANT BOOGIE’ PLUS UK TOUR DATES THIS OCTOBER/NOVEMBER
‘Immigrant Boogie’ marks the first new material from Ghostpoet since the release of his Mercury-nominated Shedding Skin third album back in 2015. The track also heralds news of a full UK tour in the Autumn – see below for tour dates. Ghostpoet aka Obaro Ejimiwe explains: “It’s a first person account of a difficult journey across borders, partly intended to ask those who have questioned the arrival of refugees in recent times what they would do in the same situation. The song is written in two halves – the first hopeful for a brighter future, while the second sees hope snatched away by forces beyond the control of the storyteller. There is an important story to be told there, but I wrote the song in a way that aims to capture a broader human truth: that while we are all working for a better life for ourselves, we have to accept that we are not in control of the outcome.”

The drifting subpulse phenomenon is a well known property of radio
pulsars. However the properties of the temporal behaviour of drifting subpulses
are not fully explored.

These experiments clearly fall outside the scope of the
conventional magnetization-model of the ANE, but a significant question
remains: Can the value of the ANE in topological ferromagnets exceed the
highest values observed in conventional ferromagnets? Here, we report a
remarkably high anomalous Nernst thermopower value of ~6.0 \mu V/K at 1 T in
the ferromagnetic topological Heusler compound Co$_2$MnGa at room temperature,
which is around 7-times larger than any anomalous Nernst thermopower value ever
reported for a conventional ferromagnet. Combined electrical, thermoelectric
and first-principles calculations reveal that this high value of the ANE arises
from a large net Berry curvature near the Fermi level associated with nodal
lines and Weyl points..

However, for AR(1), the underlying process is
correlated. All traditional results break down and the resulting t-statistic is
a new distribution that converges asymptotically to a normal.

Quadra Island's Ancient Clam Gardens
Our Hours:
On Friday evening, February 7, from 7 pm – 9 pm, Professor Dana Lepofsky of Simon Fraser University will share the little known story of the clam gardens on our coast and the research work taking place. The talk will address how early First Nations people managed to enhance the growth of shellfish in order to secure their food and livelihoods. Long before European explorers arrived on the Canadian West Coast, First Nation’s people had been sustaining their growing populations for thousands of years. Securing reliable food sources was a key component of survival. Alongside hunting, fishing and plant gathering, the ability to cultivate seafood was an essential knowledge. The remains of Quadra Island’s forgotten clam gardens are a testament to early people’s ingenuity. Dr. Lepofsky is Professor at the School of Archaeology at Simon Fraser University and a founding member of the coast-wide Clam Garden Network. She has published dozens of papers on the effects of human interaction with their environment and has supervised a great number of students. Her talk is presented at the Museum in partnership with the Discovery Passage Aquarium and the Nuyumbalees Society. Entrance is by donation.

Specifically, we explore the potential efficiency
gains using a combination of SIMDization and the 3M method for complex matrix
multiplication. Our benchmark tests compare this approach with the direct
method implementation in MPLAPACK, focusing on computation time and numerical
errors..

Christina To Perform at VMAs
Christina stopped by TRL yesterday and also had a special on MTV to promote her new album Back to Basics. Christina is looking like a real star all glammed up as the lady in red. She is clearly setting new trends. Christina is joining the list to perform at the VMAs on August 31st, where she is also nominated for video of the year plus 3 other awards. Sounds like it will be a spectacular event with Beyonce and JT also performing that evening. All three of them love to put on a show. We can't wait! So what??? Is red this seasons colour? so Christina wants to wear in all in the same day. And do we really need to see her red bra???? I hate that bra's should never been seen through your clothes including straps....very tacky. I am looking forward to the VMAs but I imagine spending the evening rolling my eyes at Beyonce's, JT and Christina's performances as I predict they will be predictable. Crispet, I agree. She can look nice sometimes, but so many times she just goes overboard with it all. Sometimes it looks like she is just trying to hard.

Thus, turbine-level modeling is achieved using
models for predicting power capture while farm-level modeling is achieved by
combining models predicting wind speed and $TI$ at each turbine location from
freestream conditions with models predicting power capture. Combining these
models provides results consistent with expected power capture performance and
holds promise for future endeavors in wind farm modeling and diagnostics.
Though training ML models is computationally expensive, using the trained
models to simulate the entire wind farm takes only a few seconds on a typical
modern laptop computer, and the total computational cost is still lower than
other available mid-fidelity simulation approaches..

Here, we investigate the possibility of purifying a
spatial-polarization mixed hyperentangled Bell state with the errors in both
the spatial mode and polarization DOFs, resorting to the nonlinear optics of a
nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in a diamond embedded in a photonic crystal cavity
coupled to a waveguide. We present the first hyperentanglement purification
protocol for purifying a pair of two-photon systems in a mixed hyperentangled
Bell state with the errors in two DOFs.
