Global diesel is in short supply.
Analysts are concerned about diesel because it is the hemoglobin of the global economy. The world's mines, oil rigs, construction, ships, trains and trucks run on diesel.
Petroleum products are distilled from crude oil like whisky is distilled from fermented grain. For both petroleum and whiskey, a liquid is heated to create a vapor that is then condensed back into a liquid again. In the case of whiskey, distillation removes the heavier molecules that condense at the bottom of the still—the wash—and are later thrown away. Only the lightest fraction—the whiskey—that condenses at the top of the still is kept.
For petroleum, the whiskey is gasoline and a few lighter molecules. The wash is everything else including fuel oil, diesel, jet fuel and kerosene. These are not thrown away because in today's market, they are worth more than gasoline.
Oil is a complex molecule that consists of a long chain of mostly carbon and hydrogen atoms (Figure 1).
Refineries upgrade crude oil into higher value gasoline and distillate products by breaking this long molecule down into smaller chains of carbon and hydrogen by a process called fractional distillation. The general molecular structures of propane, butane, gasoline and diesel are shown in Figure 2.
In a refinery, crude oil is heated under pressure in a furnace into a vapor and then fed into the bottom of a distillation tower (Figure 3).
Longer-chain molecules have higher boiling points than smaller molecules and condense back into liquids at the bottom of the distillation tower. The vapor cools as it rises through the column and different hydrocarbon molecules or fractions condense and run out of the tower at different levels.
The figure shows the main intermediate products that come out of a distillation tower with their average number of carbon atoms (C1 – C4, C5 – C8, etc. in the figure). These intermediates are then put through a series of blenders, treaters and catalytic processes that result in final products like gasoline, diesel and jet fuel.
Most U.S. refineries were built in the 1970s and were optimized for gasoline production because that was the most valuable cash product at the time. Diesel has since become more important but no large refineries have been added in the last 50 years. Increasing the volume of diesel means increasing the volume of all other refined products. The problem is that gasoline accounts for more than half of all petroleum product consumption today in the United States but diesel (distillate) accounts for only 24% (Figure 4).
To make matters worse, gasoline consumption has been weak. U.S. gasoline consumption has been below the 5-year average since June 2022 (Figure 5). Refining is a business. For as much as refiners would like to produce and sell more diesel, they can't justify making more gasoline and other products that cannot sold at a profit.
In other parts of the world, refinery configurations are different and often designed to optimize diesel production. In Europe, for example, diesel yields are sometimes as high as 40% and gasoline yields as low as 15 or 20% (Figure 6).
Refineries that produce higher diesel yields use heavier crude oil as input. Not all oil is the same even though this is rarely considered or discussed by journalists or analysts. Some crude oils are heavy and others are light. That property of oil is expressed by its API gravity, a variant on specific gravity or density. Heavier oils have lower API gravities and lighter oils have higher API gravities. Lighter oils have limited middle distillates and heavy gasoil compounds that are need to make high-quality diesel.
Figure 7 shows a range of common crude oils used in U.S. refineries arranged by sulfur percent and API gravity. Most U.S. onshore oils including tight oils, and Brent oil are light and sweet (orange circles). Many Saudi Arabian and Iraqi oils, and Alaska North Slope oil are heavier and have higher sulfur content (blue circles). Many oils from Canada, Mexico, South America and West Africa are heavy with a range of sulfur content (black circles).
Most U.S. and Brent is fine for refining gasoline but must be blended with heavier grades to produce diesel. This is why the U.S. cannot be oil independent no matter how much oil it produces.
Figure 8 shows the intermediate product cuts for a range of oil types and API gravities. The red and green columns indicate distillate and heavy gas oil products that are suitable for diesel production, and the yellow and orange bars indicate gasoline components and naphtha products suitable for gasoline production. This clearly shows that an oil's potential for diesel production is inversely and progressively proportional to its potential for gasoline production.
The last refinery built in the U.S. with significant capacity was in 1977 although smaller new plants and existing plant upgrades have occurred more recently. New complex refineries have operating lives of about 40 years can cost $15 to $20 billion. That's a stretch for an industry that struggles with investor expectations of a limited future for fossil fuels.
Refiners understand that low diesel inventories are a relatively temporary problem triggered chiefly by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The European Union imported 39% of its diesel and gasoil from Russia in 2021 and its loss leaves a huge hole in worldwide supply.
There is little flexibility to modify the kind of crude oil input or distillate yield once the refinery is built. Suggestions by some people to re-design, to build new refineries, or to use new technologies to boost diesel output are not realistic.
Refining is a complex system that cannot be adjusted without unanticipated consequences. Simple solutions are incompatible with complex systems. The world is connected and interdependent for energy and refining in unavoidably fundamental ways. The lesson of the Ukraine War should be that energy cooperation is a far more important and strategic factor than territorial or ideological disputes.

An angry man pulled down his pants and threatened to rape a female employer of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), for allegedly disconnecting his power cable without his knowledge.
In a video that surfaced online, the infuriated man was seen dragging an electrical-cable, presumably his, which was disconnected by the PHCN staff for refusing to pay electrical bills.
The man was complaining bitterly while exchanging words with the female official, claiming his son "was killed along the line" after his power cable was disconnected.
"Next time, you never never try to go to anybody's house and remove a wire that will kill a boy. My boy was killed along the line. People they call themselves nonentity NEPA that is video is videoing. People are videoing you too," he said as he drags a cable wire from the woman who refused letting the sire out of her hand.
All of a suddenly, to the greatest surprise of everyone at the scene, the man immediately dropped the cap he was holding and began to pull down his knicker and his boxers in the presence of the lady and eyewitnesses around, saying "I want to rape her."
"You will just come to people's house and collect money. Don't you know I have paid?"
"I want to rape her, tell them I am raping, I want to collect my wire," he said.
Without hesitation, the lady quickly released the wire and moved away from the scene.

Plain or French Parsley is the variety that is used all over Europe. It produces flat dark green leaves with the most outstanding flavour of all the varieties available, making it the ideal addition to any meal, including fish and salads. It can also be used as one of the ingredients in a bouquet garni.
Plain parsley is also thought to have a slightly better flavour and texture than curly varieties of parsley.

Sealed built a business to predict energy use and get homeowners to give up fossil fuels. So, naturally, the company's first acquisition is a startup that tracks energy at a granular level.
Sealed didn't disclose the terms of the deal, but said in a statement that acquiring Burlington, Vermont-based InfiSense would help it "reduce energy waste at home."
Headquartered in Manhattan, Sealed funds and oversees electrification upgrades such as: B. replacing oil or gas heating with electric heat pumps and insulation. Freeing homes from fossil fuels can reduce energy bills, reduce household emissions and improve your health. You may have seen this topic in the news recently, as possible furnace regulation is now the latest flash in a clean energy culture war.
Up to this point, InfiSense's sensors and software will monitor air quality in addition to energy use in buildings, and Sealed plans to share this type of air quality data with future customers.
Sealed uniquely covers installation and weathering costs up front. Instead, it charges a fixed fee based on the energy its machine learning algorithms predict homeowners will save over time. When Sealed underestimates a home's energy use, it eats up the cost — hence the need to refine those predictions.
"The lifeblood of our company is our ability to predict how people use energy over time, and that depends on good access to data," co-founder and CEO Lauren Salz said in a conversation with TechCrunch. Currently, Sealed's algorithms rely on monthly energy data from utility companies, but purchasing InfiSense will give it "access to a deeper level of customer data," Salz said.
Sealed plans to install InfiSense's sensors in the homes of some of its customers, but Salz said it won't need them. The data Sealed will collect will support its predictions and allow it to provide curious customers with an accurate insight into their energy use and air quality.

If you want to find an offshore wife designed for marriage, deliver order wedding brides are a good way to satisfy one. These women usually come https://mybeautifulbride.net/thai-brides right from developing countries and can be extremely beautiful. Postal mail order brides can be from all public classes and create a profile to find a person. Most websites have absolutely free membership and allow both men and women to work with their providers. Most of these websites have persona tests and require a account and picture. Some in addition have video discussion and call solutions to help you get to find out your potential wife.
There are a few things to bear in mind when looking for a overseas bride. Initially, it is important to evaluate the profile carefully. You'll have to know in case the overseas woman is actually real. Then, you should consider whether the overseas bride-to-be is willing to travel to the us. It is very unlikely that all international brides is going to speak English, and so make sure you may speak with her.
Many mail buy brides should also raise youngsters inside the culture of her region. She will probably want to give them an improved education when compared to a typical American girl. Additionally , she wants to give them a better existence than among the before. A mail purchase bride may also want to make sure her spouse is able to provide them with a stable life style and an improved education.
The cost associated with deliver order wedding brides can be expensive. However , they may be worth the costs in the end. -mail order brides to be can make a content family unit. Mail purchase brides are usually divorced or widowed. You can also find some racial or perhaps ethnic limitations that may limit your choice of offshore brides.

You may also take advantage of all their coordinating services to find a suited overseas bride-to-be for marital life. You can also pay for a trip to the international bride if you want. Many men actually plan a trip abroad to meet up with their possible spouse.
Email order birdes-to-be are also susceptible to human trafficking. Many brides are generally required to leave their loved ones in unstable countries and also have to pay for journeys. Unless the bride is normally financially steady, she might not be aware of regional customs and may shortage the money to come back home. Your sweetheart may also be entirely reliant on her behalf husband.
Ship order birdes-to-be are often divorced or widowed, and have suffered a few bad relationship encounters. Ethnic and cultural barriers could also make it difficult for abroad brides to get a husband. Yet , mail purchase brides are a great way to meet the woman of your dreams.

|Drug Patent
|A drug patent is assigned by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and assigns exclusive legal right to the patent holder to protect the proprietary chemical formulation. The patent assigns exclusive legal right to the inventor or patent holder, and may include entities such as the drug brand name, trademark, product dosage form, ingredient formulation, or manufacturing process A patent usually expires 20 years from the date of filing, but can be variable based on many factors, including development of new formulations of the original chemical, and patent infringement litigation.
|Drug Exclusivity
|Exclusivity is the sole marketing rights granted by the FDA to a manufacturer upon the approval of a drug and may run simultaneously with a patent. Exclusivity periods can run from 180 days to seven years depending upon the circumstance of the exclusivity grant.
|A Reference Listed Drug (RLD) is an approved drug product to which new generic versions are compared to show that they are bioequivalent. A drug company seeking approval to market a generic equivalent must refer to the Reference Listed Drug in its Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA). By designating a single reference listed drug as the standard to which all generic versions must be shown to be bioequivalent, FDA hopes to avoid possible significant variations among generic drugs and their brand name counterpart.
|Topical products. There are a variety of topical dosage forms available for dermatologic, ophthalmic, otic, rectal, and vaginal administration, including creams, gels, lotions, oils, ointments, pastes, solutions, sprays and suppositories. Even though different topical dosage forms may contain the same active ingredient and potency, these dosage forms are not considered pharmaceutically equivalent. Therefore, they are not considered therapeutically equivalent. All solutions and DESI drug products containing the same active ingredient in the same topical dosage form for which a waiver of in vivo bioequivalence has been granted and for which chemistry and manufacturing processes are adequate to demonstrate bioequivalence, are considered therapeutically equivalent and coded AT. Pharmaceutically equivalent topical products that raise questions of bioequivalence, including all post-1962 non-solution topical drug products, are coded AB when supported by adequate bioequivalence data, and BT in the absence of such data.

Speaking Truth To Power
Sometimes you just have to have a bit of a scream. This morning my scream was directed at the US Ambassador to the United Nations: Samantha Power. She tweeted about the Dutch Foreign Minister:
Moving speech by Dutch FM: To my dying day I won't understand…that human remains should be used in political game. http://t.co/JRDHOPfXN3
— Samantha Power (@AmbPower44) July 21, 2014
Absolutely right: "Moving speech by Dutch FM: To my dying day I won't understand…that human remains should be used in political game."
What's going on right now in Israel? There were 7 soldiers blown up in Gaza. We have 6 complete bodies but Hamas expended huge effort trying to steal some body parts of our soldiers.
Here are my tweets to her
This war needs to continue until the people in Gaza (and their friends all around the world) decide that Hamas's style of fighting to the last child, woman and elderly man isn't going to win. Because it isn't. And every single stupid concession we've made "for peace" for the last 60+ years has led to this point.
And anyone still calling for us to stop fighting until we have a surrender from them will ensure this happens again, and again, and again for ever.
The only upside (and it's a very dim glimmer of an upside) is that we've gotten better at defending our civilians faster than they've got better at killing them.
As ever, their leadership's urge for Jihad and conquest is stronger than our urge to slaughter them.

Karantina is a low-income neighbourhood located in Al-Mudawwar district in the North-East of Beirut. It is a neighbourhood used by communities from several ethnoreligious backgrounds, including Christians, Muslims and Armenians. Karantina experienced intense political conflict during the Lebanese civil war which has left strong marks in the neighbourhood social fabric. This is evident in some quarters of the neighbourhood, where retention of power by old militia heads continues to create a geographical division between Christians and Muslims.
The project in the Karantina neighbourhood was initiated by a collaboration between the landscape design consultants Zeina Kronfol and Pamela Haydamous, and the Beirut Municipality. They joined forces to renovate Karantina Public Park, located in the heart of the neighbourhood. As part of this renovation, they contacted us to design and produce play items with the participation and engagement of the community.
Recognising the neighbourhood's history and ongoing social dynamic, the aim of this project was to create a meeting point for the diverse communities living in the neighbourhood. We aimed to do this by creating a sense of identity – creating places rather than spaces and communities as opposed to entities. The participatory engagement strategy for this project was part of this process and we endeavoured that our weekly workshops targeted local residents, specifically children and the youth. To accomplish this, we collaborated with three local groups: The Chain Effect, Recycle Lebanon and Urban pins.
The workshops
The introductory workshops carried out by CatlayticAction included a series of drawing and model making exercises to introduce the children to the project and engage them in the initial design process.
The workshops conducted by local groups focussed on more specific aspects of the neighbourhood. As bicycles are a core feature in the neighbourhood, especially among children, the workshops with Chain Effect aimed to enhance this characteristic. They raised awareness about the role of cycling in the community through a fun hands-on workshop in which children learned how to repair their bicycles.
The workshops carried out with Recycle Lebanon aimed to teach the children about the importance of the environment, focussing on recycling and permaculture. This included collecting garbage from the neighbourhood and sorting recyclables from non-recyclables.
The idea for Urban Pins' workshop was developed in response to an observation of children's scavenger hunting activities in the neighbourhood. They noticed that children collected scrap materials to build basic structures and so decided to show them how they could make musical instruments out of leftover materials.
CatalyticAction's final workshop involved painting a large mural on the wall of a factory in the surrounding area. Seeing the mural, residents living further away from it, said that they also wanted one where they lived. In order to create a sense of equality between the two different communities, we thus created a mural in their area too.

Hot & humid with a side of rain on your Thursday
(KSLA) - The humidity is back for the next several days with rain chances also going up. Temperatures will for the most part be held in check, but it will still feel soupy and uncomfortable thanks to the humidity.
Today is when things start to change. There will be a shift in wind direction from the north to out of the south. This will bring in a few showers in the afternoon and will also up our humidity as well. Rain chances are at 30% so not everyone will see rain. Maybe take the umbrella to be safe, but you may not need it. Sunshine will be a little more limited, but I believe there will be some rays peeking through the clouds. Temperatures will still be in the lower 90s, but with the humidity, it will feel more like 100.
To break this down more, we turn out attention to the tropics. In the Gulf of Mexico, there is an area of interest off the coast of Texas moving to the west. This has a 40% chance of development but is running out of time and room to do so. Regardless of development, it will move into Texas and this system of showers and storms will then turn north. This will impact us by bringing in the rain and humidity. The winds should not be very strong, especially by the time it reaches us. So, whatever happens in the gulf, will be just a rain-maker.
The rain will continue Friday and Saturday. For the most part, it will be scattered with off and on showers. At times, it will be very heavy rain. You will very likely need your umbrella at some point over these two days. As of now I have a 40% chance of rain for Friday and 50% on Saturday. This will help limit the temperatures from heating up at least. Highs will be in the upper 80s and lower 90s. The rain will also help out with our drought conditions and help the grass stay green and healthy.
On Sunday, there will likely be a few more scattered showers and storms. It will mostly be in the morning, but I anticipate a couple lingering showers to last into the afternoon. If you are planning anything, you should be good to go later in the afternoon. Just check the radar before heading out. Temperatures will still be in the lower 90s thanks to the little bit of rain. There will still be a lot of humidity as well, so it will feel worse than what the thermometer will read.
On Monday for your 4th of July holiday, we may see a stray shower here or there, but will otherwise be nice and dry. Much of the day will be nice and sunny. Come by the evening when the fireworks start, it will still be dry and clear. So your fireworks forecast is looking almost perfect! Temperatures for the day will heat up to the mid to upper 90s again. I'd say for the evening, it will be in the upper 80s and lower 90s, so still very warm and muggy.
Tuesday and Wednesday will also be nice and sunny with basically no chance of rain. A ridge of high pressure will be building back in around the southern half of the country. This will limit any rain and keep temperatures hot. This setup is similar to what we had earlier in June. Temperatures for Tuesday and Wednesday will heat up to the upper 90s and will make a run for the triple digits again.
In the tropics, we are also watching two other areas of interest in the Atlantic. One has a very slim chance to become anything, while the other is currently labeled Potential Tropical Cyclone Two. This is very likely to become Bonnie. I expect that it will finally become organized enough Thursday night or Friday when it is over the open water before hitting Central America and moving to the Pacific. This is not heading to the Gulf of Mexico. We'll be watching for any changes.
Have a great rest of the week!

17th August 1947: The Radcliffe Line, the border between the Union of India and the Dominion of Pakistan is revealed
On 17th August 1947 the Radcliffe Line was declared as the boundary between India and Pakistan, following the Partition of India. The line is named after Sir Cyril Radcliffe who was commissioned to equitably divide 4,50,000 km sq of territory with 88 million people. The idea behind the Radcliffe Line was to create a boundary which would divide India along religious demographics,... Read More →

Fluorescent labeling is the process of binding fluorescent dyes to functional groups contained in biomolecules so that they can be visualized by fluorescence imaging (nature.com). The availability of new fluorophores has dramatically changed the possibilities for the sensitive detection of biomolecules and the analysis of their interactions. Improved fluorescent dyes are now enabling previously impossible studies of cellular structures and cellular processes. Fluorescent labels offer many advantages, as they are highly sensitive even at low concentrations, are stable over long periods of time, and do not interfere with the function of the target molecules. The targeted imaging of labeled cells enables tracking them in vitro and in vivo. Using different fluorophores in the same sample can also allow the simultaneous observation of several molecules at the same time. The most commonly used fluorophores are Fluorescein IsoThioCyanate (FITC), derivatives of rhodamine (TRITC), coumarin and cyanine. These synthetic organic dyes are used to label biomolecules as proteins, peptides, antibodies, nucleic acids, bacteria or yeast. Naturally occurring fluorochromes, such as Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), can also be used to label living cells genetically.
- Fluorescent protein labeling
Fluorescent labeling allows researchers to investigate the conformational dynamics and molecular interactions of proteins or to track their movements in order to better understand their biological functions (Modesti M, 2011). To get better insight into receptor-ligand-binding, protein structures and enzyme activity, single peptides can be also labeled. Fluorochrome labeled antibodies are widely used in biomedical research to detect antigens in immunofluorescence assays and are also essential tools in immunodiagnostics. To ensure reliable results, the fluorophore conjugation should not interfere with the antigen-binding characteristics of the antibody (Nath N et al, 2016).
- Fluorescent labeling of nucleic acids
Fluorescence-based assays play a major role in biophysical studies of the structure, function and dynamics of nucleic acids. Recent advances in labeling methods and imaging systems have allowed the direct in vivo observation of DNA and RNA, and of their interactions with other cell components. Live-cell imaging of nucleic acids has opened new paths for better understanding chromatin organization and gene expression regulation. (Dirks RW et al, 2018).
- Fluorescent labeling of polysaccharides
Complex polysaccharides, such as heparin are structural components of the extracellular matrix. These polysaccharides are essential for cellular adhesion, migration and growth (Prigent-Richard S. et al, 1998). Some compounds are also known for their anticoagulant, antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory, antiviral and antiangiogenic properties. Fluorescence-based methods make it easier to identify new bioactive polysaccharides and to characterize their biological functions (Roger O et al, 2002).
- Fluorescent labeling of lipids
Cellular lipids play a crucial role in the cell for energy storage, for the formation of cellular membranes and for intracellular signaling processes (Maekawa M. and Fairn G, 2014). The lipophilic dye Nile red is widely used to stain intracellular lipids in order to analyze their location and organization (Greenspan P et al, 1985). Moreover, for studying lipid dynamics, specific labeling in living cells is also possible (Schultz C et al, 2010).
Fluorescent Labeling Techniques
Commonly used fluorescent labeling methods use chemical, enzymatic, peptide/protein tag and genetic labeling techniques (Sahoo H, 2012 , Toseland CP, 2013).
- Chemical labeling techniques: Fluorophores dock to the target molecules through chemical modification (covalent or non-covalent binding). Chemical labeling methods have several advantages as they are robust, easy to perform and very efficient with a wide range of fluorophores. They are more suitable for in vitro studies rather than in vivo.
- Enzymatic labeling techniques: Enzymatic reactions allow fast, highly-efficient and selective labeling in vivo and in vitro and can be used to target proteins or whole cells. Yet due to the large size of the labels, interferences with the function of the target molecules can occur.
- Peptide/protein tag: A recently developed, and very promising, technique allows the specific and selective labeling of proteins through the incorporation of short fluorescent tags which do not disrupt the folding or the function of the molecule. This technique is also easy to perform and can be used to investigate different sites of single proteins depending on the peptide tag specificity.
- Genetic labeling: Genetic labeling can be achieved using protein domains, small peptides or single amino acids which are marked with fluorescent dyes and can specifically attach to sites along chromosomes in vivo. This approach allows the detection of chromosomal abnormalities such as deletions or duplication.
- Multicolor labeling: A common requirement for live cell imaging and for flow cytometry applications is the ability to follow or detect multiple fluorescently tagged proteins at the same time. For this purpose, specifically designed dyes with a very large Stokes shift can be used, which allow the simultaneous monitoring of different biochemical processes.
Fluorescence-based Assays
Fluorescence-based assays rely on the ability of fluorophores to re-emit light after the exposure to light particles or photons. The difference in wave length between excitation light and emission light, the so-called Stokes shift, can be detected in microscopes and imaging-systems. Each fluorophore has a specific Stokes shift. Different assays allow researchers to localize biomolecules, to observe them in real-time, to investigate their interactions and to study enzymatic activities.
- Fluorescence microscopy
Fluorescence microscopy allows the identification of cells and cellular components and the monitoring of cell physiology with high specificity. Fluorescence microscopy separates emitted light from excitation light using optical filters. The use of two indicators also allows the simultaneous observation of different biomolecules at the same time. Whereas conventional imaging systems allow a resolution of 200 to 300 nm due to physical diffraction limits, new super-resolution fluorescence microscopes as STED (stimulated emission depletion) overcome these limits and provide insights into the nanoscale world of molecules (Sanderson MJ et al, 2014).
- Flow cytometry
Flow cytometry is widely used in basic research and clinical practice to measure the signal from specific fluorophores. Cells and particles are analyzed and eventually sorted in "real time" as they pass through the light beam of detectors which quantify the fluorescence produced by labeled antibodies or ligands. These markers bind to specific molecules on the cell surface or inside the cell allowing their detection and quantification. Several parameters as size and volume can be measured on single cells, and different cell types can be isolated and characterized (Nolan JT and Condello D, 2013). Flow cytometry finds broad applications in fields as immunology, hematology, transplantation medicine, oncology and genetics.
- Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) allows the localization of specific DNA sequences on chromosomes. Fluorescent DNA or RNA probes are used to hybridize and identify complementary target DNA sequences. FISH has been traditionally used to map genes on chromosomes, for example, during the Human Genome Project. Today fluorescence in situ hybridization is mainly used for diagnostic purposes in the detection of chromosomal abnormalities or in the analysis of cancer cells (O'Connor C, 2008).
- Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS)
Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) allows the analysis of temporal changes in the fluorescence intensity of fluorochromes, which are caused by chemical, biological or physical influences. FCS was first introduced to investigate interaction between drugs and DNA and represents now a sensitive tool for determining concentration and aggregation levels of proteins, as well as for observing molecular interactions (Tian Y et al, 2011).
- Microarrays
Microarrays allow the study of gene expression under different conditions. Thousands of genes can be examined at the same time on DNA chips. These are microscopic slides printed with tiny spots containing known DNA sequences that can selectively bind to fluorescent-labeled mRNA/cDNA molecules. After hybridization, the DNA-chip is read out, and the data is used to create gene expression profiles (Hoen PAC et al, 2003).
Fluorescent Label: Live-Cell Imaging
The kinetic observation of cellular processes using time-lapse fluorescence microscopy has become a fundamental technique in cell biology, as live-cell imaging can provide very valuable insights into cellular growth and transport mechanisms. One major challenge in time-lapse microscopy is minimizing phototoxic effects resulting from photobleaching. The light exposure progressively destroys fluorescent molecules leading to a reduction of the fluorescence signal and to the formation of free radicals which can damage the cells. Therefore, it is crucial for the method of live-cell imaging to find a balance between reducing light exposure as much as possible and getting useful signals to observe the cells. Scientists also need to create a physiological environment which allow to closely replicate the in vivo dynamics. (Ettinger and Wittmann T, 2014).
PromoCell Fluorescent Labeling
The availability of new fluorophores has dramatically changed the possibilities for the sensitive detection of biomolecules and the analysis of their interactions. Improved fluorescent dyes are now enabling previously impossible studies of cellular structures and cellular processes. PromoCell provides a wide range of high-quality fluorophores for fluorescent labeling of diverse biomolecules: protein labeling, antibody labeling, nucleic acid labeling (DNA labeling, RNA labeling), as well as complete labeling kits and ready-to-use fluorescent conjugates.
Our PromoFluor dyes are cost-effective alternatives to well-known, leading fluorophores and span the wavelengths spectrum from blue to far red. They show an outstanding fluorescence intensity and photostability, a strong light absorption, high fluorescence quantum yield and good water solubility and can be used for fluorescence microscopy, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) and microarrays (protein, DNA). Some of them offer an extra large Stokes shift, which makes them ideally suited for multicolor labeling or flow cytometry applications. PromoFluor dyes are available e.g. as NHS esters, maleimides and amino-modified labels ready for covalent coupling or as conjugates with biotin, phalloidin and deoxynucleotides (dUTPs). Moreover, we also provide high-quality Protein & Antibody Labeling Kits with different PromoFluor dyes.

Yes I do beleive the car fenders and truck fenders are identical, but the running boards may be longer, not positive on that since the '32's I've customized were either fenderless or I had to make custom fenders for a better look. I do beleive all bolt on peices of the early fords of the same model were identicle so they could be replaced by parting out other broken vehicles, simular to the jeep used in WW1-2. Welcome to the hotrod world, I to was once a lowrider builder. Let me know if you need anymore help, be glad to do what I can.

text: The Best Strategy of Asking for a Pay Raise and Making It Useful - Informative Comments: 0 Views: 24 Save Updated: Jun. 29, 2021 2021-06-29T16:11:08 Posted: Jun. 29, 2021 2021-06-29T16:01:09 Online Threat Alerts (OTA) The matter of asking for a raise seems to be complex for major employees. This conversation fodder easily makes everyone feeling confused, pulling them out of their comfort zone. It is the perplexity that inhibits many workers from negotiating, as they are sure that fair discussion of salary will sound somehow greedy. But behind the scenes, things are different, when an individual can overcome psychological blocks and bring in the evidence of their great effort. In practice, a try to explain to a supervisor that you deserve more is as normal as sharing your goals with a writing service and getting feedback after a free resume evaluation. In both cases, you'll get an honest answer about the quality of the job and the market value of your candidacy. If you have no idea how to become more confident, here are the six working strategical tips to enhance your chances for success. #1. Choose the Best Moments for a Favorable Response. No matter how ideal the relations with a manager are, you should think of picking the right time to ask for a raise. We're all human beings at the end of the day, so the manager is. It's better to avoid the discussion if when your boss is harried or nervous and talks about budget cuts. A natural time for the open conversation may be in the following cases: fiscal budget planning that results in no cuts; annual performance reviews; successful completing a big-time job; getting rave reviews for a high-profile project; your supervisor seems pleased with your job; you have been showing excellent work. #2. Prepare the Reasons to Justify Your Request. Start your preparations in advance. If you've been hired not less than six months ago, it's high time to share your goals about the priority of excelling in the current role with a supervisor. That conversation will work out when you request a pay raise, letting your boss know you've deserved it by taking more responsibility and doing everything you can. Accomplish the subject with specific examples of wins to become a star-performer: Be ready to answer direct questions about the accomplishments, your raise, and your plans for the future at the company. Communicate your recent accomplishments and don't forget about the value you've brought. Prove your worth for the company by enumerating specific data and awards to demonstrate your contribution. Logically put all the points to get your justification compelling. Respond to all manager's questions, speaking in a gentle voice. #3. Be Tactful to Begin a Raise Discussion. Take some time to think over what you are going to say to a supervisor. There are no scripts or templates for any conversation. Just be clear while delivering and have some phrases down to guide the discussion. Start your request as follows: "I'm looking forward to growing with our company, so I would like to discuss my salary.", or "I'm interested in my salary matter, is it an appropriate time to discuss it?" Be specific to mention the number of the desired salary number other details that are pertinent to it. Outline how you've concluded the target salary number. Try to establish specific goals on a timeline with your manager for reaching the target salary. #4. Be Polite During the Conversation. Everything is important in a raise discussion, whether it is the voice tone or the way you act. Your main task is to manage balancing confidence and graciousness with simultaneously showing dedication to your job. Take balls to be confident, in other cases, an employer won't feel comfortable giving you a raise. Express gratitude and appreciation for what you currently have to preface asking more. Show enthusiasm about your investments in doing the job well and excitement for the company's future goals, being a part of them. #5. Don't Get Afraid of Asking the Questions. There are some important questions before promotion to ask either yourself or your supervisor. The answers are crucial for getting the desired raise. First of all, ask yourself whether the raise you plan to ask for truly reflects the value you bring to the company. The next one should sound like if the raise you want is realistic or you are asking for compensation beyond your experience. If your answers motivate you to discuss a raise, then ask your supervisor as follows: What kind of responsibilities will I get along with this raise? Will the raise involve managing, interacting with, or reporting to new team members? When will a raise be possible, if it can't be available at the moment? What will be required to advance even further in my career at this company after the raise? #6. Take Any Answer with Dignity. A supervisor may take some time to think the matter through or doesn't give their firm 'yes. ' Relax and wait for getting back to your request, it's a common practice for managers never to say 'yes' on the spot. As soon as you get a "maybe," you should get clear what the game plan is. You can offer to check back with a manager on a certain date. If you see your boss is good about following up on things, acknowledge that with "Thank you, I very much appreciate it." In case you hear 'no', you'll get a perfect opportunity to ask, "Could you tell me your thoughts about what it takes for me to earn a raise in the future?" A true professional is always ready to explain to their workers what they would need to get a promotion. The rejection without an explanation or specifics is a strong signal to find a better place for earning more somewhere else.

The critical "con" in regards to this product is just how much it costs. A solitary bottle costs nearly eighty dollars. One container, through the pics on the webpage, holds about 120 pills. You're supposed to need 2-3 tablets every new day. This means how the bottle definitely going to be empty in forty to sixty era of use. This signifies that, if you use it during you should, you could wind up spending $480-$720 a year on the site. That's an awful lot of cash to invest in a weight supplement-especially one who may not help you in means that you hope rrt's going to.
Hopefully it is not you. By now, you've read in the many different diets by name that you can select from. Atkins Diet, the Zone Diet, the Scarsdale diet, to mention a few. All of those diets have merit.
For him, however, when he eats no grain, sugar, or other starches — that is, eat entirely protein, fat and low-carb vegetables, all hunger goes away. He has to make sure to eat. Are able to eat various sickly sweet, or high starch foods in front of him, even close enough he'll be able to smell them, and learn find them disgusting. It will take him four days to have this amount.
Slimirex is largely sold by Global Healing Center Incorporated. The company is based after organic health, thinking positive, living well and, of course, selling supplements. The international Healing Center, Inc. was founded by Dr. Edward F. Group III. Before he started the Global Healing Center at the of the 1990s, Dr .. Group spent more than 20 years studying everything he could about natural health. Slimirex could emerge as the company's major product and should be selling all this over globe.
It is estimated that you lose one pound of body weight for every 3500 calories deducted from the food ingestion. When you lose one pound of weight it contains 75% fat and 25%muscle. If you lose weight fast, ought to be lose more muscle and much less fat.
Generally supplements are believed to a natural one furthermore best for your body. There are numerous natural supplements that are now being there today and new supplements are being invented. A new natural supplement known as 7-QE Keto Gummies Cost DHEA is introduced in business. This supplement is closely related to one incredibly controversial supplement i.e. DHEA. It is an effective product and you can definitely this but before you buy 7-QE Keto Gummies Reviews DHEA it would be a great idea to known more over it.
Other bodybuilders find creative splits. Could train shoulders and triceps together, after which it create a different day for biceps and calves, as an example. They realize it's almost impossible to maintain adequate intensity for arm training following training chest or back, and they move the arm muscles for their own amount. Still, they do split inside the muscles of the upper arm so related to give them each private level of attention, QE Keto Gummies Cost and own day of dedication.

Topological Classification and Stability of Fermi Surfaces
In the framework of the Cartan classification of Hamiltonians, a kind of topological classification of Fermi surfaces is established in terms of topological charges. The topological charge of a Fermi surface depends on its codimension and the class to which its Hamiltonian belongs. It is revealed that six types of topological charges exist, and they form two groups with respect to the chiral symmetry, with each group consisting of one original charge and two descendants. It is these nontrivial topological charges which lead to the robust topological protection of the corresponding Fermi surfaces against perturbations that preserve discrete symmetries.

For a Fermi gas at zero temperature, a Fermi surface(FS) naturally arises as the boundary separating the occupied and empty states in -space. As is known, when weak interactions/perturbations and disorders are introduced, some FSs still survive though the occupation of states may be shifted dramatically, while some others are easily gapped. Such kind of FS stability originates from its topological property of the Green's function or the Feynman propagator for fermionic particles, , which was first pointed out by Volovik in Ref.Volovik-Book . Generally speaking, an FS is robust against weak interactions/perturbations and disorders, if it has a nontrivial topological charge that provides the protection; otherwise it is vulnerable and easy to be gapped. The most general case is that a Hamiltonian is not subject to any symmetry, where the topological charge is formulated by the homotopy group . This general case was addressed in Refs.Volovik-Book ; Volovik Vacuum and analyzed in the framework of the K theory Horava . Notably, real physical systems have normally certain symmetries, making it necessary and significant to develop a corresponding theory for symmetry preserving cases.
It is known that the symmetry of a quantum system can always have either a unitary representation or an anti-unitary one in the corresponding Hilbert space. The unitary symmetries, such as rotation, translation, and parity symmetries, are easy to be broken by weak interactions/perturbations and disorders, while the anti-unitary symmetries, such as the time-reversal symmetry(TRS) and charge conjugate or particle-hole symmetry(PHS) can usually be preserved. Thus we are motivated to develop a unified theory to classify the FSs of systems with the two so-called reality symmetries, namely TRS and PHS, which seems to be fundamentally important. In this Letter, taking into account the two reality symmetries and introducing six types of topological charges, a new kind of complete classification of all FSs is obtained, being explicitly illustrated in Tab.[2]. Moreover, an intrinsic relationship between the symmetry class index and the codimension number is established, which provides us a unique way for realizing any type of FS with a high codimension.
Let us first introduce how to classify all sets of Hamiltonian involving the above-mentioned two reality symmetries, as done in the random matrix theoryRamdom Matrix 0 ; Ramdom Matrix I . It turns out that the chiral symmetry(CS) has to be introduced for a complete set of classification. If a unitary symmetry represented by can anti-commute with the Hamiltonian , , , it corresponds the CS. In fact, the combined symmetry of TRS and PHS is a kind of chiral symmetry. On the other hand, two chiral symmetries can be combined to commute with , which makes diagonal. Thus it is sufficient to consider only one chiral symmetry. Based on these considerationsRamdom Matrix II ; TI Classification III ; TI Classification I , a kind of complete classification of all sets of Hamiltonian can be obtained with respect to the three symmetries. As is known, the TRS and PHS are both anti-unitary, and can be expressed in a unified form
where denotes TRS/PHS, and . As a result, each reality symmetry may take three possible types (even, odd, and absent), and thus there are nine classes. In addition, considering that the chiral symmetry may be preserved or not when both reality symmetries are absent, we can have ten classes, as summarized in Tab.[1], which is the famous Cartan classification of Hamiltonians in the random matrix theoryRamdom Matrix 0 ; Ramdom Matrix I , while may be easily understood in the present framework TI Classification I ; TI Classification III ; Ramdom Matrix II ; Tl Classification II .
|Non-chiral case
|Chiral case
For a system with spatial dimension , the FS is a compact submanifold with dimension if the -space is compact. We may define the codimension of the FS as . Topological charges can be defined on a chosen -dimensional submanifold in the -space enclosing the FS in its transverse dimension. The two reality symmetries are essentially different from the CS, which lies in that each of the reality symmetries relates a point to the point in -space, while the CS acts on every . This difference leads to the requirement that a chosen submanifold in -space has to be centrosymmetric around the origin in order to preserve either of the reality symmetries.
Generally, the topological property of an FS depends on its codimension and symmetry note1 . After the detailed analysis, we are able to classify all classes in an appropriate form illustrated in Tab.[2], which is one of main results of this work. In each case, as seen in Tab.[2], a kind of topological charge is designated to the FS. Topological charges , , , and correspond respectively to , an integer, an integer of , and an even integer. As illustrated in the table, the ten classes can be divided into real and complex cases according to whether or not they have either of the reality symmetries. On the other hand, they can also be put into the chiral and non-chiral cases depending on whether or not they have the CS. Actually, from this kind of classification, we can find that there are six types of topological charges, which form two groups in terms of the CS, with each group consisting of an original one () and the two descendants ( and ) note . In the chiral or non-chiral real case, all of the four types of FSs can be realized for any given number of codimension. It is also clear that the complex and real cases have different periodicities: one is of a two-fold periodicity, while the other is of an eight-fold one. Obviously, for the complex case, we can introduce a matrix element to denote the topological charges listed in Tab.[2], where odd(even) number corresponds to the class A (AIII), and is the number of codimension. In this way, satisfies the relation with an integer and . For the real case, we can also introduce another matrix element , where denote the classes AI, BDI, D, DIII, AII, CII, C and CI respectively. Intriguingly, we can also find
with , which establishes an intrinsic relationship between the symmetry class index and the codimension number. More significantly, based on this relationship, we are able to realize any type of FS with a high codimension by reducing its codimension to an experimentally accessible one with the same CS, , . Actually, the above relation and the two-fold periodicity as well as the eight-fold one are originated from the Bott periodicity of . In particular, the present eight-fold periodicity is induced by the two reality symmetries enforcing on the two-fold Bott periodicity, and thus is different from the eight-fold Bott periodicity for and Nakahara .

Let us look at the most general case, , the class A, in the absence of any symmetry. The basic idea to classify FSs in terms of the topology may be learnt from this case, which was already discussed in Ref.Horava . We here follow it for a pedagogical purpose. The Green's function can be written as
which is regarded as an N-dimensional matrix. FSs are defined to be connected to the zero energy. Formulating topological charges in terms of the Green's function has an advantage when handling interacting systems, which is addressed in Order-parameter of TI ; Horava ; Interacting . Generally the FS consists of branches of compact manifolds in -space. For a specific branch with dimension , a -dimensional sphere can always be picked up from -space to enclose this branch in its transverse dimension. is nonsingular for each restricted on the ; in other words, it is a member of . Then restricted on the can be regarded as a mapping from to . As all these mappings can be classified by the homotopy group , on the is in a certain homotopy class. In the so-called stable regime, , satisfies the Bott periodicityNakahara ,
Since physical systems are always in the stable regime, only the mappings on for FSs with the odd codimension can be in a nontrivial homotopy class, while ones for the even codimension are always trivial. In other words, FSs with the even codimension are always trivial and vulnerable against weak perturbations, while ones with odd codimension can be classified by and its stability is topologically protected against any weak perturbations for the nontrivial one. We emphasize that since the class A is not subject to any symmetry, the perturbation can be quite arbitrary. In addition, the concrete shape of the is irrelevant in principle, and the only requirement is that it is an orientable compact submanifold in -space with dimension , which is distinctly different from the cases of reality symmetries. The homotopy number of a mapping for an FS is named as the topological charge of the FS, which can be calculated from the following formula,
The -type of FSs in the class A is thus obtained. Once an FS has nontrivially this topological charge, it can survive under any weak perturbations in the absence of any symmetryHubbard . But the topologically trivial FSs can be gapped due to the perturbations. Both cases can be seen in Volovik-Book , where two Fermi points in - phase are topologically protected with charge individually, while the Fermi line in the planar phase cannot be topologically charged because its codimension is even. The FS of another simple model Hamiltonian belongs also to this topological classSupp , where are Pauli matrices.
We now turn to consider the case when the system has a chiral symmetry denoted by , ,
Systems with this symmetry have a crucial property: for any eigenstate of with the energy , is also an eigenstate of but with the energy . The Hamiltonian associated with this symmetry can alway be diagonalized in -space on the basis that diagonalizes and thus can be written as
On the that is chosen to enclose an FS of dimension , also takes this form, which makes the topological charge defined in Eq(4) always vanishing. However can be regarded as a mapping from (set ) to , which may be in a nontrivial homotopy class of . In this sense, there exist nontrivial FSs for the even number of codimension, , . The homotopy number may be calculated as
As the homotopic number is real, it can also be calculated by . Thus the homotopic number can also be expressed by Green's function:
The homotopic number is referred to as the chiral topological charge of the FS.
For this -type topological charge in the class AIII, if it is nontrivial, the FS is stable against any perturbations that do not break the CS. However the topological protection is not as stable as that induced by Eq.(4), because the FS is gapped if ever the CS is broken. For instance, the honeycomb lattice model has two Dirac cones with the low-energy effective Hamiltonian , respectively, with representing the chiral symmetry that is the sublattice symmetry here Haldane model . The two Dirac cones have respectivelySupp , and thus they are topologically stable as far as this chiral symmetry is preserved. More remarkably, according to our present theory, it is noted that the stability of FSs in this model was recently verified in an ultra-cold atom experimentDirac Points . In addition, it was also seen clearly from this experiment that if the sublattice symmetry is broken, a gap may be opened in the whole Brillouin zone. It is noted that this type of topological charge was also seen in a superconducting systemSConductor . Another interesting model Hamiltonian also gives out this type of topological charge Supp .
When TRS and PHS are considered, many -type topological charges vanish. As for the first descendant () of a -type in a non-chiral real case , the case of codimension 2 that is labeled one row above that of codimension 3 (-type) in the class AII in Tab.[2], the Green's function restricted on the chosen can be classified by a -type topological charge. The key idea is that can be continuously extended to on the -dimensional disk by introducing an auxiliary parameter (ranging from to ) with the two requirements: , and is a diagonal matrix, such that for empty bands and for occupied bands, where is a positive constantOrder-parameter of TI ; Xiao-Liang PRB . The validity of the extension is based on the fact that restricted on is always trivial in the homotopic sense in this case. This topological charge in terms of Green's function is formulated as
where "" has been dropped for brevity. The topological charge is defined in a similar way to the WZW-term in quantum field theoryWZW-term and the character comes from the fact that two different extensions differ to an even integer, as demonstrated in Ref.Order-parameter of TI . As a concrete illustration, we here exemplify this -type topological charge by a model Hamiltonian defined in a two spatial dimension: , which has only a TRS with and according to Eq.(1), and thus belongs to the class AII in Tab.[1] and corresponds to the case of in Tab.[2]. The corresponding FS at the origin in the -space is found to have a nontrivial topological charge from Eq.(6) Supp .
For the second descendant with the codimension (), the case of codimension 3 with two rows above that of codimension 5 in the class C in Tab.[2], a -type topological charge can also be defined on the chosen . To define the -type topological charge, the is smoothly extended to a two-dimensional torus parameterized by the two auxiliary parameters and (both ranging from to ) with the three requirements: ; and , referring to Eq.(1); corresponds to a trivial system, such as for empty bands and for occupied bands. The corresponding topological charge is defined asXiao-Liang PRB ; Order-parameter of TI
where "" has been dropped and the is defined in Eq.(4). As a topological charge of FSs, its physical meaning is analogous to that of Eq.(6).
Similar to the non-chiral case, a chiral topological charge is associated with two descendants: son and grandson. The topological charge of the son is originated from the chiral topological charge defined in Eq.(5) in the same spirit of that Eq.(6) is originated from Eq.(4), which is given by
where is the matrix to represent the chiral symmetry, is the chosen restricted on , and is extended by an auxiliary parameter ranging from to with the same requirements for introducing Eq.(6). The topological charge for the grandson can also be defined in the same spirit of writing out Eq.(7). We extend the to a two-dimensional torus parameterized by two auxiliary parameters and (both ranging from to ) with the four requirements: the first three requirements are the same as those of the non-chiral counterpart in Eq.(7); while the fourth one is that the chiral symmetry is preserved on , which also permits that either of reality symmetries is applicable in the second requirement. The topological charge is written as
where is defined in Eq.(4).
The physical meanings of topological charges for the eight classes with TRS and/or PHS are elaborated as follows. The FS(s) with a certain codimension is always distributed centrosymmetrically, since either TRS or PHS relates to . Thus there exist two possibilities: the FS with codimension resides at the origin in -space; the FS(s) is centrosymmetric outside of the origin. For the first case, we can choose an in -space to enclose the FS, and use the corresponding formula to calculate the topological charge. If the topological charge is nontrivial, the FS is stable against perturbations provided the corresponding symmetries are preserved. For the second case, the FS(s) is usually spherically distributed, so two s can be chosen to sandwich the FS(s) in its transverse dimension. The difference of the topological charges calculated from the two s is the topological charge of the FS(s). If it is nontrivial, the FS(s) is topologically stable when the corresponding symmetries are preserved.
Before concluding this paper, we wish to emphasize that the topological charges of FSs addressed here are closely connected to topological insulators/superconductorsZhao1 , and therefore this work may provide a new and deep insight for studying them.
To conclude, FSs in all of the ten symmetry classes have been classified appropriately in terms of topological charges. It has been revealed that when an FS is associated with a nontrivial topological charge, this FS is topologically protected by the corresponding symmetry.

I Supplemental Material
As representative examples, we illustrate below how to calculate the topological charges of Fermi surfaces in the models with different classes of topological classification.
Ii A. Calculation of the -type topological charge in the class A
We first look at a simple three-dimensional model Hamiltonian given by
where (i=1,2,3) are Pauli matrices and is equal to zero only if , , the Fermi surface is a point at the origin in -space. Here, it is also assumed that this model with a given has no discrete symmetries, so that it belonged to the class A. For convenience, an is chosen in -space, and then is translated along the -direction to form an infinitely long cylinder enclosing the Fermi surface. Choosing as the coordinates of the , we parametrize the three-dimensional cylinder as . According to Eq.(4), the corresponding topological charge is given by
Substituting into the equation and using , we have
we can find
Defining a unit vector , the above expression can be further simplified as
which is just the winding number from to . A nonzero implies the topological stability of the Fermi surface. As a very simple example, , so that . The corresponding -type topological charge is
In other words, Weyl fermions have topological charge equal to their chiralities [1].
Iii B. Evaluation of the -type topological charge for a physical model in the class AIII
Let us consider such an effective two-dimensional model Hamiltonian given by
where denote the two Dirac cones. This model has a chiral symmetry, , and thus it belongs to the class AIII. The Fermi surface is obviously the origin point in the -space. We here choose an enclosing the Fermi surface, and calculate the topological charge according to Eq.(5):
where After simplifying the above expression, we obtain
Thus the Fermi surface is topologically stable as far as the chiral symmetry is preserved.
Another interesting but a little bit more complicated model in this class reads
which may be simulated by cold atom experiments. We choose a square path with the side length centered at the origin. Since every side is equivalent to each other, we focus on the right side, where
The doubly charged Fermi surface in this model is also topologically stable.
Iv C. An example of -type topological charges in the Class AII
We here address a two-dimensional model Hamiltonian as
This Hamiltonian has a time-reversal symmetry(TRS) with sign , ,
It is straightforward to check that this Hamiltonian has neither the chiral symmetry nor the particle-hole symmetry, and so it belongs to the class AII. The Fermi surface of this model is the point with codimension . According to Table[II], we can calculate its topological charge from Eq.(6). In order to do this, we choose an in -space enclosing the origin, and make the following continuous extension of the Green's function restricted on the :
where parametrizes the circle in -space enclosing the Fermi surface, is the parameter for extension, and is a positive constant. Substituting this Green's function into Eq.(6) and using a result in Sec. A, we obtain
For simplicity, setting , we obtain
It is found that in this case, and thus the Fermi surface is protected by a nontrivial topological charge as far as this TRS is preserved. Finally, it is worth pointing out that the present model may be experimentally simulated with ultra-cold atoms, and thus our prediction of this topological feature can be tested by future experiments.

I probably wouldn't take the Knights here if the spread never moved from where it opened, but now there's a ton of value on UCF with a full three touchdowns.

UCF ranks No. 12 in yards per rush attempt against FBS opponents and if they go run-heavy to limit possessions, the Knights have a great chance to cover this number even though the Bearcats should be in blowout mode the rest of the season.

- AT&T Communications CEO Jeff McElfresh says 5G adoption may be muted by the recent pandemic job losses and higher costs of unlimited 5G data.
- 'I've always tried to soften folks' expectations around 5G,' McElresh said.
- McElfresh defended DirecTV acquisition because the cash flows from the deal helped AT&T invest in fiber.
A View from the Top is a Q&A series exclusively available on CNBC Pro. Alex Sherman will regularly speak with a business leader about decision-making, investing and industry news.
AT&T is focusing on three "core priorities" -- wireless, fiber broadband and next generation entertainment services, according to Jeff McElfresh, head of AT&T Communications. That's driven AT&T's push to divest assets, including potentially DirecTV and its advertising platform Xandr.
Still, while AT&T is positioning its company around wireless and high-speed broadband, Apple's 5G iPhones, expected to be announced in October, may not be the major event many are expecting. Economic challenges during Covid-19 quarantines may cause fewer people to upgrade immediately, said McElfresh. If you're not in a hurry to upgrade to 5G, McElfresh shared some additional news -- AT&T engineers are already working on 6G.
McElfresh also defended AT&T's decision to buy DirecTV in 2015 for $49 billion while acknowledging consumers now view satellite TV as "old technology."
